"The college entrance examination is the day after tomorrow. You don't need to review these two days. Just relax at home and adjust your mentality..."
"Also, remember to go to the test center to check first. It is best to put your admission ticket and pen in a bag to avoid forgetting to bring it..."
Star City No. 3 Middle School.
Today is the last day of class for the senior year of high school, but in fact there are not many classes anymore, mainly various instructions.
After all, it’s too late to improvise at this time, it’s better to adjust your mentality and perform stably.
"Finally, I hope everyone can do well in the exam."
Looking at the worried and anxious faces under the podium, Liu Xiulan slowed down and gave her blessings.
To be honest, No. 3 Middle School is not a very good school. There is certainly no shortage of students with good grades, but not everyone is like this. On the contrary, most of them have unsatisfactory grades.
Nowadays, some directly enroll in junior college, some lie down and wait for the verdict, and some are still trying to struggle. In the end, I don’t know how many of these students will be admitted to the university of their choice.
"I'm afraid these two people are the only ones who don't have to worry about this at all..."
With her thoughts swirling, Liu Xiulan glanced in Xia Xu's direction, and then moved her gaze to Tang Youxin.
The college entrance examination is obviously not something that needs to be stressful for these two people.
After all, Xia Xu, the monster, had just earned a total of 70 million from her husband's Zhonghai Investment. With this money, she would not have to worry about living the rest of her life waiting to die.
What's more, even just in terms of academic performance, Xia Xu now has perfect scores in many subjects. Even Tang Youxin seems to have been inspired recently, and her academic performance has skyrocketed.
Could this be the power of love?
If these two people could really take the key exam together, maybe it would become a famous story, and they could have an excellent example to teach the new students.
Are you distracted from studying by puppy love?
Two students I once taught also fell in love early. Do you know how they did it?
They pushed each other hard, and in the end they got perfect scores in all subjects, and both were admitted to key universities. They even made tens of millions by learning how to start a company!
Look at you again! If you can’t study or make money, why are you imitating others’ puppy love?
You are simply the worst class I have ever taught!
"No, the credibility seems a bit low, so I won't say the next sentence..."
Thinking about it, Liu Xiulan laughed a little in her heart.
After all, no one would believe the things Xia Xu, the evildoer, had done.
Despite all the instructions, it was time for school to end at Xingcheng No. 3 Middle School.
For Liu Xiulan, this seems to have become the time to say goodbye to this class of students. The only time we see each other again is once or twice after the college entrance examination.
"I wish everyone... a bright future."
Amidst the emotional blessings once again, the senior high school students dispersed their sorrows.
…
Two days later, it was officially the day for the college entrance examination.
"Dad, I'm going to take the exam."
Early in the morning, Nuo Nuo's shouts rang out from Fangyuan Baozi Shop.
"Is it really okay for you to go by yourself?"
Followed by a middle-aged man with a worried tone.
Unfortunately, before the middle-aged man could say anything more, the waxy girl's voice was already flying away and fading away, and a vague sentence came out: "No problem..."
"Why go to all this trouble? Just tell Uncle Tang if we can go together."
At the entrance of Luogu Lane, Xia Xu successfully met with Xiao Baihua, somewhat speechless, just like a spy meeting.
"no."
The little white flower's face was flushed, and she looked like she was getting used to it but was a little shy.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Xia Xu was a little dumbfounded, but just shrugged, and then said: "You shouldn't be nervous, right? Just calm down and take the exam later."
"Well, don't be nervous. I will definitely do well in the exam."
When Tang Youxin heard Xia Xu talk about the exam, she raised her head that had been lowered and nodded her head seriously.
"But I'm a little nervous. How about we make a bet and give me some reward?"
Xia Xu suddenly said with a smile.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Xiao Baihua wrinkled her nose and snorted softly.
She won't fall for the same thing twice.
"Then I'm worried that you won't do well in the exam. Why don't you change it this time and give you a reward if you do well in the exam?"
Xia Xu changed his explanation with a smile.
Unfortunately, this trick seems to be ineffective against little white flowers.
Tang Youxin is not really that easy to fool. In fact, every time she is more concerned, it is just a little bit of accommodation brought about by her care and soft temper.
However, Xia Xu's other goal has been achieved. At least at this time, there is no trace of remaining anxiety on Xiao Baihua's face.
After waiting for a moment at the entrance of the alley, a taxi automatically pulled over and stopped in front of the two of them.
"Boss, get in the car."
The driver in the taxi's driving seat stuck his head out and called out. This person was He Qing, who Xia Xu had hired from the consulting company not long ago.
The taxi driver's network was actually a very large and well-connected information channel, and there was nothing going on for the time being, so Xia Xu let He Qing continue to drive around in the taxi.
It was difficult to call a taxi for the college entrance examination today, so Xia Xu simply called him over just in case.
Silent all the way, the two of them soon arrived at the examination room. They each entered their own classrooms separately, and an examination without much suspense was officially carried out.
While Xia Xu was struggling in the examination room, Xinghai Venture Capital, which was gradually getting on the right track, also welcomed an uninvited guest.
Griffin Jones.
"Mr. Griffin, I should have told you..."
After hearing the report from the company's front desk, Chen Leyao, who finally let Griffin Jones in, sat at his desk and looked at him with a frown.
"Don't get me wrong, Miss Chen, I don't want to pester you anymore."
Griffin Jones seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Leyao, and then smiled bitterly: "Actually... I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Chen. I was looking for the general manager of Xinghai Venture Capital."
Last time, Chen Leyao did not tell him that she worked for Xinghai Venture Capital.
Therefore, neither Xinghai Venture Capital nor Chen Leyao is actually an "informed person". This is the so-called enemy's openness and our covertness.
We found the general manager of ‘Xinghai Venture Capital’ instead of ‘Chen Leyao’, which to a certain extent temporarily put aside the slight unpleasantness we had before.
It's not that clever, but it's a very effective communication method.
"Okay, then, Mr. Griffin, what do you want to do with the general manager of Xinghai Venture Capital?"
Chen Leyao recalled that what was reported at the front desk just now was indeed true, but she was just preconceptions, so her expression slowed down and she put on a businesslike look.
Xinghai Venture Capital is an investment company, and since Griffin Jones didn't come to her to pester her, he must have business cooperation to discuss.
Even if she was impatient with him, her quality and sense of responsibility did not allow him to show it willfully. She just used the term "General Manager of Xinghai Venture Capital" as Griffin Jones said when calling herself. There was nothing wrong with her tone, but
This word is used with a sense of emphasis when used at this time.
Griffin Jones's face changed slightly for a moment, but he didn't show it either. He smiled gracefully and said: "It seems that some misunderstandings before made me leave a not so good impression on you, Miss Chen. If I have a bad impression on Miss Chen,
If you have caused any trouble, I am here to apologize to you in advance.
But I am indeed not here for you today, Miss Chen. I just want to discuss a project cooperation with Xinghai Venture Capital. After all, we are both a venture capital firm in Star City, and Xinghai Venture Capital is quite famous."
"Then it seems I have neglected myself. Mr. Griffin, please sit down."
Chen Leyao saw that what Griffin Jones said was reasonable and reasonable. Although he didn't show much intimacy, he still adopted a normal reception tone and showed a bit more professional enthusiasm.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Since it is a misunderstanding, it will be fine if it is resolved."
Griffin Jones said that he would not mind at all. After sitting down safely, he went straight to the topic and talked about his purpose: "Ms. Chen, you should also know that I have also founded a venture capital company. Of course, with you Xinghai
Venture capital is incomparable, and the capital flow is only a few million..."
Although he was talking calmly and calmly, even though he had already prepared his words, Griffin Jones' mood still became a little complicated when he looked at Chen Leyao, who was sitting directly opposite him and looked businesslike.
After all, not long ago, I was using Xinghai Venture Capital as a prestige to invite others, but in the blink of an eye, they had joined the real Xinghai Venture Capital, and he also held the general manager position with more than one person under ten thousand people.
In fact, as long as the boss doesn't interfere too much, the entire Xinghai Venture Capital will be under the control of General Manager Chen Leyao.
With such a sudden rise to the top, compared with his natural investment, his original rejection seemed natural.
And he, who originally wanted to recruit others, is now in the position of a visitor seeking cooperation. Although this cannot be said to be humble, it is actually obviously a head lower than others.
The forms are interchangeable, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, adding a bit of shame that I don't want to face.
Of course, putting aside some messy emotions, Griffin Jones performed perfectly, without showing anything on his face.
"So Mr. Griffin's Tianshen Investment wants to join forces with Xinghai Venture Capital to invest in Tonghe Pharmaceutical?"
After a while, Chen Leyao also finished listening to Griffin Jones' statement.
Griffin Jones's purpose was very simple, which was to invite Xinghai Venture Capital to invest in a local pharmaceutical company in Star City.
"Yes, I always believe that there are some things in the world that are more meaningful than money, and the new drug developed by Tonghe Pharmaceutical is a great thing for both Xia and the world, even if this factor is ignored
, Tonghe Pharmaceutical can also create huge profits for us."
Griffin Jones nodded slightly.
"If Mr. Griffin is so sure, why do you still want to cooperate with us?"
Chen Leyao asked calmly.
This is probably a question that everyone in her position would ask.
"It's simple, because I don't have enough capital."
Griffin Jones once again gave a helpless smile: "The small amount of funds in my hand is completely a drop in the bucket for a pharmaceutical company with huge R&D investment, and it has no ability to help Tonghe Pharmaceutical achieve a decisive effect.
If I don’t have enough funds to give Tonghe Pharmaceutical a shot of cardiotonic, it will be useless no matter how optimistic I am about it. If I participate, my money will be wasted.”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin, I don't have any contact or understanding of Tonghe Pharmaceutical at the moment. I can't ensure that I can make a correct judgment, so I can't give you any reply at the moment."
Chen Leyao, who has a five-star talent in business administration and a four-star talent in finance, naturally cannot be fooled by Griffin Jones so easily. He just nodded and said: "I need a few days to investigate and understand Tonghe Pharmaceutical, and then contact the investors."
We can make a decision only after discussing with each other.”
"Of course it's no problem. Miss Chen, just keep things official."
Griffin Jones smiled understandingly and handed over some prepared information documents: "This is some information related to Tonghe Pharmaceutical that I compiled myself. I hope it can bring you some reference, Miss Chen."
"Thank you so much."
Chen Leyao stood up politely to see off the guests, and after returning, she picked up the information left by Griffin Jones and read it.
Tonghe Pharmaceutical, as you can tell by its name, is a pharmaceutical company. It is not big in size. It used to mainly do OEM manufacturing, and then purchased the patent licenses for some commonly used drugs. It has always been tepid, but
Generally speaking, it is also developing steadily, and its revenue has been considerable.
However, a few years ago, the boss of Tonghe Pharmaceutical suddenly entered the R&D field with great ambition and was determined to build his own R&D department. Since then, most of his income has been poured into the bottomless pit of scientific research.
Drug research is a black hole, because no one can guarantee its returns, and the money spent is huge. Tonghe Pharmaceutical has been in decline since the beginning of research and development.
It just can't be stopped. The sunk costs are getting higher and higher. No one will be willing to stop. And once the bubble of new drugs is burst, those shareholders who are already dissatisfied will definitely explode.
As a result, the entire Tonghe Pharmaceutical has fallen into an endless cycle. If it does not develop new drugs, it will be dead. The research and development of new drugs will cost money but will not produce results. Most of the original business income will have to fill this bottomless pit. In a few years, it will be in vain.
Shareholders and investors are beginning to prepare to run away.
However, Griffin Jones found that Tonghe Pharmaceutical's new drug seemed to be only one step away from success. Once successful, it would definitely be able to revive the dead, and the profits it would create were simply immeasurable.
But this is like a big gamble. It's close, but that point may make the difference. Who knows whether we can make up for that point in the end instead of becoming a big gift package? Who knows whether it will take several years or dozens to complete this point?
Year?
If they really want to continue, maybe Tonghe Pharmaceutical will be dragged down before then, or they may become a takeover and take over Tonghe Pharmaceutical, a gold-eating beast that cannot be shaken off.
Even if most people understand this kind of thing, it is impossible for them to participate in it. Basically, the only people who dare to enter the market are gamblers.
