Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Ni Liyun was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Zhou, how did you know about this? Jingshan did reach a cooperation agreement with Goldman Sachs, but the news was not made public, and it was personally handled by President Morris."

There was a hint of doubt and tentativeness in her words, suggesting that this matter was not under her jurisdiction.

For Goldman Sachs, Jingshan's listing plan is of great significance, not only because of the huge profits brought by its 25% stake, but also because it represents an important business breakthrough in the mainland market.

Morris, who is eager to achieve results, attaches great importance to this and has begun to prepare to help Jingshan successfully go public.

However, how did Zhou Qi know this information that had not yet been made public?

Zhou Qi smiled calmly and responded, "I have my sources. I came to see Miss Ni today to discuss the possibility of cooperation."

Hearing this, Ni Liyun shook her head and politely refused:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, no matter what your proposal is, I can't help you with Jingshan's listing because this is a project directly managed by President Morris."

Even so, her tone revealed a complex meaning.

"Besides, we have already signed the contract," Ni Liyun added.

Before she could finish, Zhou Qi interrupted her and said, "I hope Jingshan will not go public."

This sentence made Ni Liyun's expression instantly become serious. She frowned slightly and pondered the deeper meaning of Zhou Qi's words.

Zhou Qi put down the teacup in his hand and continued, "Miss Ni, perhaps you don't want to see Jingshan go public smoothly, right?"

Ni Liyun smiled softly and replied, "Mr. Zhou, I don't quite understand what you mean. Jingshan's successful listing is an important victory for Goldman Sachs. I have no reason not to hope it will succeed."

"It is indeed a successful business, but it has nothing to do with you directly, does it?" Zhou Qi pointed out.

Ni Liyun was silent for a moment, and they both understood each other tacitly that some things did not need to be said too bluntly.

Ni Liyun knew very well that Morris's behavior was tantamount to marginalizing her.

Having no say in the Jingshan project means she won’t benefit from it even if it succeeds.

Zhou Qi keenly grasped this point and proposed a possible cooperation opportunity:

"Ms. Ni, if you want to gain more say for Goldman Sachs in China, then Jingshan should not be listed. Our interests are the same."

Ni Liyun stared at Zhou Qi quietly, her face calm, but her heart was as turbulent as the sea.

She realized that Zhou Qi was no ordinary person, but how did he know so much about Goldman Sachs and her situation?

Every word he said was piercing and hit the point directly.

I tried to catch a clue from Zhou Qi's expression, but found that he was unfathomable, like a pool of dark water, making it difficult to grasp.

Reject? But his words are so thorough, how many unknowns are hidden behind them?

Ni Liyun fell into deep thought. After a moment, she frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do? What do you need me to do?"

Zhou Qi was not surprised by this, as the struggle for power was always cruel and ruthless. If Ni Liyun had a solution, she would not be trapped in the hotel.

Zhou Qi then asked about the terms of cooperation between Jingshan and them.

Ni Liyun hesitated for a moment and said that this involved trade secrets and that disclosing it would involve legal risks.

"Nothing in this world is completely risk-free."

Zhou Qi retorted: "If you don't even dare to take this little risk, how can you win this contest?"

Ni Liyun took a deep breath and slowly revealed: "Jingshan used 25% of the original shares in exchange to promote its listing on NASDAQ."

Hearing this, Zhou ** was shocked. He didn't expect Jingshan to be willing to cede so many shares.

What does this mean? Financing! For Jingshan, this is a big gamble. Wang Yudong is indeed extraordinary in developing the company to its current status.

Those who succeed are not ordinary people. They are brave people who dare to take risks.

Zhou Qi said calmly: "Ms. Ni, I hope you can help me get that 25% stake."

Ni Liyun's face suddenly changed. Taking over 25% of Jingshan's shares? What does this mean? This is asking her to betray her own company. This is far more serious than leaking business secrets.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal."

Ni Liyun said: "All you said is impossible to achieve. Goldman Sachs is preparing a listing plan for Jingshan, and President Morris can't get past this hurdle."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Qi suddenly said, "Two hundred million!"

Zhou Qi said, “Your investment bank holds shares in Jingshan in order to cash out after the listing.

I can now give you 25 million in exchange for this % stake, which is in line with your company's original intention and reduces the risk. For you, this deal is a sure win."

Ni Liyun was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Qi to offer 200 million. But it's not just about money.

She said: "Mr. Zhou, this is not a matter of funds. Our investment bank acquired 25% of Jingshan's shares to help it go public on Nasdaq. If we transfer the shares, it will be a breach of contract."

“If Jingshan cannot go public because of this, the investment bank will be sued, which will affect our credibility.”

"Not only me, but headquarters will not agree to it either."

Her concerns are justified. For any company, reputation is of vital importance.

Once a contract is signed, it must be followed. If trust is lost, who will be willing to cooperate in the future?

"But what if Jingshan is destined to fail to go public?" Zhou Qi asked in return.

Ni Liyun was startled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Qi calmly explained: “Although Wang Yudong is the chairman, he can’t make all decisions arbitrarily.

In order to accelerate its development over the years, Jingshan has continuously diluted its shares to obtain investment. Do you know which investment companies hold Jingshan's shares? "

"But you may not know that the shares held by these investment companies are now in my hands."

"For a company to go public, it must have the consent of more than two-thirds of shareholders. I hold more than 30% of the shares and have a veto power."

"If I don't agree..."

"Wang Yudong's plan to list Jingshan has become an empty talk."

“And your investment bank’s efforts will be wasted, and your 25% stake will not be profitable.”

"Miss Ni, you should understand now, right?"

The company was unable to go public, and Morris's plan to cash out was ruined.

However, if Ni Liyun agreed to Zhou Qi's request and transferred the 25% stake held by the investment bank to him, she would be able to make a profit of million and surpass Morris in one fell swoop.

Zhou Qi’s words made Ni Liyun uneasy and her breathing became rapid.

But she quickly calmed down and questioned: "Mr. Zhou, we don't have any information about you in our investigation."

Zhou Qi smiled and responded: "If Miss Ni knew everything about me, there would be no need to go to Hong Kong City."
