Dongjiang Securities is far from qualified to be among the first-class securities firms, but as a member of a non-bank financial institution, its headquarters building on Huaihai East Road is magnificent when you step inside.
The staff are like hard-working bees. Before eight o'clock, many people have already poured into the building like a tide. As the spoiled children of this financial capital, no one dares to do anything even on Monday morning.
There is a trace of slackness.
However, if you take a closer look at the pale and puffy eyes and faces of most people, you will know that they are still addicted to the happy atmosphere of the weekend and have not completely gotten rid of it; the first working day after the weekend makes them like an electric car with a exhausted battery.
Toy, can't help but exude a tired look.
Some people stay up all night studying the latest economic situation and news, some are hungover from the feasting, and some are tired of the glitz and nihility of this city from the bottom of their hearts, but they can't escape it.
Chen Chang, who has never been outdone by others, squeezed into the elevator and looked at his face reflected in the stainless steel elevator wall. His makeup was exquisitely done, with no blemishes or fatigue that could be seen at a glance, and his rosy and slightly curled lips showed through.
A bit confident and satisfied; then she accidentally noticed someone standing in the corner of the elevator looking at her, his eyes full of disdain and speculation.
I haven’t been with Dongjiang Securities for a long time, and I don’t have any outstanding qualifications or family background that I can tell you. However, I am young and beautiful. I was promoted to project manager. Chen Chang has seen a lot of similar things in the past few days.
His eyes are already calm.
She could still turn her head, pretending to be surprised but not losing her enthusiasm to greet the female colleague who was disdainful and guessing: "Manager Zhao, are you here so early?"
"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. If I hadn't worked harder, I don't know how I would have been beaten to death by Manager Chen on the beach! But Manager Chen still worked so hard, which really surprised me. How many waves in front would you have beaten to death?
So willing!"
As a master's student at Xinhai University of Finance and Economics, Zhao Yanmin is one of the few female researchers who joined the investment banking department of Dongjiang Securities. She has worked at Dongjiang Securities for eight years, during which she also studied hard for an on-the-job Ph.D., and is currently only serving as a project manager.
She saw that after graduating from Xinhai University of Finance and Economics with a bachelor's degree, she worked in an administrative position with no technical content in a commercial company for the first two years. After more than a year of officially joining Dongjiang Securities, Chen Chang, who had just become familiar with various businesses, was actually promoted to deputy manager.
A senior project manager, how can you feel happy?
"Look at what Manager Zhao said, there is no such thing as being a prodigal. If others heard it, they would think that Manager Zhao has been relying on prostitution all these years in Dongjiang Securities. Then I will not dare to get too close to Manager Zhao in the future!" Chen Chang has been saying these days
Tian was targeted the most by Zhao Yanmin, who responded with a smile.
"...Manager Chen is really good at joking!" Zhao Yanmin gritted her silver teeth and smiled back.
"Manager Chen, Manager Zhao, it doesn't matter whether it's a wave or a wave, as long as it's enough!" A man came up and said with a playful smile.
"Who is smiling with you?" Chen Chang and Zhao Yanmin glared at the man at the same time.
"Ding!" The elevator door opened. Chen Chang and Zhao Yanmin pushed the man aside at the same time and walked to the workstation on high heels.
"...Chen Chang!"
Chen Chang sat down at his workstation and had just reviewed the work plan to be completed this week. He was about to browse the latest financial news in Europe and the United States last night when he saw Ge Jun walking in carrying a black backpack, standing like a lion.
There, he scanned the spacious office hall as if he were inspecting his own territory, and finally set his sights on Chen Chang.
After Chen Chang stood up in confusion, Ge Jun ordered,
"Leave all the work at hand to Zhao Yanmin and come to my office in a quarter of an hour!"
At this moment, countless pairs of eyes poked out from their respective workstations, criss-crossing each other in surprise and confusion above the office hall.
Although the self-operated department of Dongjiang Securities is not as numerous and hierarchical as large securities companies, it also has many secondary departments responsible for specific affairs.
Chen Chang is just a newly promoted deputy manager in the market investment department of the secondary department, and he has not even officially started working on projects independently. What could happen to Boss Ge that would directly "spread" her?
Could it be that she really has some unexplained relationship with Boss Ge?
However, even if there is really a relationship that needs to be taken care of, it can be "entrusted" to the director of the Market Investment Department. There is no need to be so blatant, right?
Ge Jun never paid attention to the questioning looks of others. He went straight to his office after giving instructions, and seemed to have no intention of explaining anything to the person in charge of the market investment department.
"So much work has to be done by yourself, Manager Zhao!" Although Chen Chang didn't know what Ge Jun wanted to do with her, he would not miss the opportunity to make the eccentric Zhao Yanmin feel uncomfortable.
This week's work plan was sent via email, and I didn't forget to say a bitingly, "If Manager Zhao finds it difficult, you can apply to Director Zhou for a handyman intern to come and help you."
"Haha!" Zhao Yanmin said with a smile.
"Haha!" Chen Chang replied to Zhao Yanmin with a false smile.
"Mr. Ge, what work do you want me to do?" Chen Chang knocked on the door of Ge Jun's office.
"I asked you to write an analysis material about Taihua Group a few days ago. I took the time to read the report you wrote yesterday and it was pretty good." Ge Jun motioned to Chen Chang to close the door of the office to prevent the sound from spreading out.
, said with his feet crossed, "Next, we at Dongjiang Securities will formally establish a special merger and acquisition fund. You will assist me in the main preparation work..."
"M&A fund, targeting Taihua Group?" Chen Chang was stunned.
"Yes, it is aimed at Taihua Group. Currently, the main competitor is Huamao Capital, and the corresponding information is qualified and can be found." Ge Jun said.
Information about M&A funds must be kept as confidential as possible during the preparation stage, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it will cause uncontrollable variables.
However, Thai
The stock price of Taihua Group is still leaking wildly. It is difficult for most ordinary people to not secretly buy some Taihua shares after knowing this secret merger plan.
The result of everyone’s nightly discussion at the Jinhong Meeting was that Tianyue, Xinhong and Dongsheng, as the sponsors of the M&A fund, and Dongjiang Securities as the issuer, first took on the preparatory work, and then Xinhai United Bank and Xinhai Gold acted as the sponsors.
The facilitator who provided part of the credit funds then participated, and finally started negotiations with several institutions that held the pledge rights of Taihua Group's stocks.
How each step is taken and the extent to which information is spread at each step are all very particular.
Ge Jun is already very strict with his subordinates, but he dare not say that Dongjiang Securities can prevent insider trading and rat positions.
However, you still have to find someone to do the specific work; and because the merger is dominated by Tianyue, if the merger is successful, Tianyue will be responsible for assigning management to Taihua Group. Considering the personal relationship between Chen Chang and Cao Mo,
Ge Jun believes that she is currently the best person within Dongjiang Securities to be responsible for following up on this project.
After being promoted, Chen Chang also hoped to have independent follow-up projects one day, but in the early stage, she only dared to look forward to small trust projects with a scale of tens of millions or one or two hundred million.
Dongjiang Securities' self-operated department has long been able to do these projects with practice, and a set of fixed processes has been formed among different secondary departments such as issuance, finance, auditing, legal affairs and investment research; Chen Chang also mainly worked on similar projects before.
The establishment of M&A funds for listed companies, let alone Dongjiang Securities, may not be possible even in the whole of China within a year.
Regardless of the subsequent asset restructuring plan, the size of the M&A funds involved in the early stage is expected to be between 1.5 billion and 2 billion, far exceeding most of the single projects of Dongjiang Securities; and the complexity is far from ordinary.
Trust fund projects can compare.
Chen Chang was a little stunned after hearing Ge Jun briefly talk about some situations.
Even if she was assisting Ge Jun, she doubted whether she could do it; at that moment, she discovered that she still had many blind spots in this regard.
Chen Chang also knew that the opportunity was rare and did not dare to show cowardice in front of Ge Jun. She took some materials Ge Jun gave her and walked back to her work station. She ignored the confused looks from Zhao Yanmin and others. After a while, she
After figuring out a little bit, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed Cheng Xi:
"Cheng Xi, do you know what Cao Mo has been up to recently?"
"Ah? What is Cao Mo doing?"
There was some noise on the phone, and Chen Chang didn't know if Cheng Xi was on the way to the work or where he was at this time. Then he heard Cheng Xi talking to someone on the other side of the phone, covering the call hole.
"What are you doing recently? Chen Chang bumped into you. Don't dodge your eyes. Chen Chang even called me to complain!"
"Ah, Cao Mo is with you? He is eating breakfast with you. You haven't gone to work yet?" Chen Chang was startled.
…………
…………
Ge Jun was usually very stern and if there was something he didn't understand, Chen Chang would rather go to Cao Mo and ask for clarification than face Ge Jun's doubtful or distrustful eyes.
She carried a pile of materials, carried her laptop, and her mobile phone, and hurried to the breakfast shop in the north lane of Yinguang Building. She saw Cao Mo sitting opposite Cheng Xi and Yu Jing, holding a bowl of spicy food.
Drink the soup; there are still two fried beef dumplings left on the dinner plate, with a layer of white and moist butter floating on them.
It is hard to imagine that this somewhat lazy young man in front of him, after injecting capital into Dongsheng Real Estate, secretly initiated a secret acquisition worth tens and twenty percent.
"What time is it now and you are still eating breakfast slowly?" Chen Chang asked as he put down his things.
"It's not nine o'clock yet. We don't have to be strong women. We can just hit the mark and get to the office!" Yu Jing said lazily, "By the way, what bad thing did Cao Mo do and you caught him? Cao Mo just said
I wanted to sneak away, but Cheng Xi and I teamed up to hold her down here!"
"I am upright and not afraid of my shadow being distorted. It is useless for you to slander me!" Cao Mo said righteously.
That's what he said, but he still felt a little weak in his heart.
Establish a merger and acquisition fund to compete for the controlling stake of Taihua Group from Huamao. Once successful, this merger and acquisition fund will actually control the controlling stake of Taihua Group during the transition period; and this transition period may be as long as two to three years.
The personnel of each party who are specifically responsible for following up on the M&A fund will also need to continue to be responsible for following up on the rectification of Taihua Group and subsequent asset restructuring.
This also means that during the transition period, they need to maintain long-term and close daily contact with each other, and it is even necessary to set up a special joint office for co-working.
Cao Mo originally thought that Song Yuqing would be responsible for the relevant work on Tianyue's side, but he didn't expect that on Dongjiang Securities' side, Ge Jun would arrange for Chen Chang to follow up on the matter, and he was a little dumbfounded.
Chen Chang, Yu Jing and Cheng Xi are on good terms, and they have occasional contact with Song Yuqing and Zhou Han. Cao Mo is still worried. If he sticks to the original arrangement at this time, during the transition period of the next two to three years, By allowing Chen Chang to maintain daily close contact with Song Yuqing, isn't he causing trouble for himself?
In fact, even if Song Yuqing from Tianyue is not responsible for this matter, as long as Chen Chang follows up on this matter on behalf of Dongjiang Securities during the next two to three years of transition, Cao Mo is afraid that she will see a lot of things. .
"I won't talk nonsense to you anymore," Cao Mo said, still looking calm and clear, "Tianyue has entrusted Dongjiang Securities to handle a very important transaction. Boss Ge must have asked Chen Chang to follow up on this matter. .However, Tianyue and Dongsheng will hand over the specific responsibility to Shen Ji for this matter. You know that Shen Ji’s fiancée is relatively small-minded. I am worried that Chen Chang will follow up on this matter for a long time and Shen Ji’s backyard will catch fire... …”
Cao Mo sold Shen Ji without hesitation.
Thinking that he had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Shen Ji, Chen Chang also felt a little embarrassed and said, "Then should I ask Mr. Ge to push this matter away? I thought it was an ordinary trust fund at first.
When I thought it would be a merger and acquisition fund, there were few precedents in China, and no ready-made format documents could be found in the database. It was much more complicated than I imagined. I was a little confused before I thought of calling Cheng Xi, thinking about bank mergers and acquisitions. Lending business is relatively common, Cheng Xi, you may be able to find a case here that can be used as a reference."
"Don't listen to Cao Mo's threats. When men and women interact in normal work, why should you be afraid of people making irresponsible remarks? Cao Mo just wanted to scare you." Cheng Xi glanced at Cao Mo and said to Chen Chang, "You have this The opportunity is not easy, so try it first, and if you fail, move Cao Mo out to take the blame. Can Ge Jun fire you?"
"Why did I deliberately scare Chen Chang? That's what I said," Cao Mo changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "There are very few relevant cases in China, but there are more in Europe and the United States. When you prepare materials, you only need to pay attention to the domestic As long as the difference between foreign company law and securities law is reflected. I have prepared some foreign language materials over there. Chen Chang, you can come with me and copy them back to save you the trouble of searching everywhere."
Cao Mo swallowed dates and two fried beef dumplings, and walked out of the breakfast shop with the three girls.
He sent Cheng Xi and Yu Jing to Yinguang Square, thinking that they would take Chen Chang back to Tianyue headquarters to get materials later, but they saw Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan accompanying a middle-aged man from a parked car. Get out of the black Mercedes-Benz business car in front of the north tower of Yinguang Plaza.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had gray hair on his temples and was wearing gold-rimmed narrow-rimmed glasses. His appearance was fair and elegant, and his face shape was somewhat similar to that of Lu Jianchao and Lu Yan. Without even thinking about it, Cao Mo knew that this man was someone he had never had the chance to meet. Lu Jiancheng, who came here, was also the real head of New Taihua Investment and Taihua Group.
However, the once arrogant Lu family brothers are now like bereaved dogs, with bags under their eyes and tired faces. It seems that Lu Jiancheng's gray hair on his temples has been added these days; Lu Jianchao is also better than last time in Dongsheng Building. When we met in front of the building, he was much older.
Cao Mo raised his head and glanced at the gilded signboard of Xinhai United Bank on the north tower of Yinguang Plaza. This is the headquarters of Xinhai United Bank.
Even though New Taihua Investment has already pledged its 2% stake in New China United Bank, Lu Jiancheng seems to be still a director of New China United Bank.
Even without relying on his terrifying intuition, Cao Mo could guess that the Lu brothers and Lu Yan appeared here at this time and were heading to Xinhai United Bank.
Chen Chang had just collected and studied the information of Taihua Group in the past few days, and the first step of the acquisition fund she was responsible for following up was to compete with Huamao Group for the controlling stake of Taihua Group. At this time, she saw Taihua Group
The major shareholder and actual controller of Hua Group appeared here, which really shocked me.
"I wanted to rush to Zhiyun Lake to play with cars in the morning, but I didn't expect it to be so lively and beautiful..." Cao Mo immediately changed his plan and accompanied Cheng Xi and Yu Jing to continue to the bank where Yinguang Commercial Group and Xinhai United Bank are headquartered.
Walk to the North Tower of Light Square.
Since Chen Chang is responsible for following up and promoting the preparation of the acquisition fund on behalf of Dongjiang Securities, it is even more unlikely that there will be any excitement at this time.
There was no need for Lu Jianchao or Lu Yan to say anything, but judging from their extremely complicated and stunned expressions, Lu Jiancheng also instantly figured out who the young man on the other side of the road was walking towards Yinguang Square with three young women, and stopped.
, waited for Cao Mo and others to walk over:
"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Cao for the first time on such an occasion!"
Cao Mo put his hands in his jacket pockets, glanced at Lu Jiancheng's outstretched hand, curled his lips and said, "What a coincidence, Chairman Lu also has a girlfriend who works at Yinguang Plaza?"
The corners of Lu Yan's eyes twitched twice, but in the end he held back and said nothing.
At this time, he had completely understood in his heart that the Lu family was already a drowned dog, a toothless dog, and if he thought about "baring teeth", it would not have the slightest deterrent effect, it would just make people laugh.
Lu Jianchao was not even interested in talking to Cao Mo.
"Is the situation in Taihua today what you want to see, Mr. Cao?" Lu Jiancheng asked with a relatively calm hoarse voice, staring at Cao Mo.
"Do you want me to tell the truth?" Cao Mo asked with a smile as he narrowed his eyes.
"There shouldn't be anything that can hit us now, Mr. Cao just said it doesn't matter," Lu Jiancheng said.
"If I tell the truth, it's not enough!" Cao Mo said "Haha" and said sarcastically, "Of course, it doesn't matter if I hope or not, Han Shaorong will definitely not give you a breath, I just need to wait and see what happens.
Can."
"New Taihua and Taihua Group have all fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong. The projects we have built on the south bank of Lake Cornero in recent years have all fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong. Then he relied on these projects and the Catero Steel Plant to expand his business in West Africa.
To have an influence that surpasses Tianyue in one fell swoop is what you want to see?" Lu Jiancheng asked.
"Chairman Lu, what's the use of telling me all this? Even if I know that Han Shaorong is not a good person and he won't let me go, but I still have to be patient and watch Han Shaorong beat you to death with a stick, Director Lu
Don't worry, sir, I still have the patience to watch the excitement," Cao Mo said with a smile, "I just don't know, what excitement do you want me to see when you come here today?"
After saying nothing for a while, Lu Jiancheng held his nose and said a few words to Cao Mo. Apart from being stabbed with blood and getting nothing, he could only stride towards the north tower of Yinguang Square to avoid Cao Mo's further ridicule.
their opportunity.
"Xintaihua Investment holds 2% of the shares of Xinhai United Bank, but it has already been mortgaged to Xinchang Steel Trading Group, and Xinchang Steel Trading Group has close business and financial relationships with Xinhai United Steel and Huamao Group, which means Xintai
Hua Investment's shareholding in Xinhai United Bank has actually fallen into the hands of Han Shaorong, so what are they doing here at the headquarters of Xinhai United Bank?" Chen Chang asked curiously.
From these words, it can be seen that Chen Chang has done a lot of research on Taihua Group. However, Cao Mo did not make any guesses. Seeing Cheng Xi, he also looked over curiously and said: "What are you trying to guess at this time?
If we all go to Li Xiaodong’s office to drink tea, don’t we know everything?”
