Cover the glass with water

The prospectus was drafted by a professional team, so of course there would be no major problems, and it didn't need the guidance of a layman like Xin Qianyu to revise it.But Xin Qianyu needs to work hard to read through the almost [-]-page prospectus, grasping every detail clearly to avoid any mistakes.

In addition, Xin Qianyu also plans to participate in the road show, so she must be familiar with the content of the prospectus.

Xin Qianyu was preparing the homework for school while approving the prospectus.This week, Xin Qianyu only slept for three hours a day, and he couldn't seem to turn his mind. He felt that he was on the verge of becoming mentally retarded.

Xin Qianyu could only focus all her energy on the work at hand, her attention to the outside world became dull, and her response speed became slow.So, it took him a while to suddenly realize that Su Zhong had already moved in.

Originally, Su Zhong was in the apartment, sometimes helping Xin Qianyu prepare for school projects, and sometimes discussing the content of the prospectus with Xin Qianyu.When it was time for dinner, he made Xin Qianyu a sandwich and ate it with Xin Qianyu.After all, no matter how complicated the dishes are, Su Zhong won't.The two got along harmoniously, and Xin Qianyu never thought of issuing an order to evict the guest.

Once Xin Qianyu started working, she was so engrossed that she stayed up late into the night, forgetting about the existence of Su Zhong.He washed himself casually and fell asleep, his mind was also dazed, and he didn't even remember that there was anyone else at home.

Waking up the next day, Xin Qianyu brushed her teeth and washed her face, and found that Su Zhong had prepared breakfast for herself—he muttered, "Sandwich again?"

"Don't you want to eat a sandwich?" Su Zhong said, "What do you usually eat for breakfast?"

Xin Qianyu sat on the chair, a little sluggish, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Zhong being at her home early in the morning.

Xin Qianyu replied: "Just some ordinary fried egg and sliced ​​ham is fine."

"No problem." Su Zhong took away the sliced ​​bread and lettuce from the sandwich and ate it, leaving only the fried egg and sliced ​​ham. "Here, the fried egg and sliced ​​ham you want."

"..." Su Zhong really deserves to be Su Zhong.

Xin Qianyu finished the project report ahead of schedule and asked for leave from her supervisor.

The classmate also asked curiously: "Why did you take such a long vacation?"

Xin Qianyu said, "There is something at home."

The instructor looked up and said, "His family wants an IPO."

Hearing this, the classmate was taken aback: "How do you know?"

The instructor also felt very strange: "I am in the consulting industry, how could I not know?"

"..." The classmate choked.

The instructor paused: "Don't you think that university professors are just old pedants doing research in school?"

In fact, this mentor was an executive from a consulting company in Boston. He is an expert and a doer.

Xin Qianyu didn't want to talk about her own affairs at school. She originally wanted to keep a low profile, but she didn't want all the tutors who were teaching to know that Xin Qianyu was preparing for an IPO, so she was more understanding and tolerant of Xin Qianyu's lack of energy in class.

The tutor approved Xin Qianyu's fake, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "I wish you success!"

Xin Qianyu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Professor."

Xin Qianyu asked for leave, and joined the whole team to prepare for the last matter of going public.

After the prospectus was approved, the listing has reached the stage of considering pricing.The whole team decided to temporarily set the price between 9.5-11 US dollars.Then, they began to prepare for the listing roadshow.

For Xin Qianyu, all this is more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

After discussing for a long time, Xin Qianyu proposed: "In the whole process, Su Zhong's participation rate is the highest, and Su Zhong's image is also good, why not let Su Zhong be the speaker?"

The cfo immediately objected: "Why do you let the investor give the lecture? It must be the CEO."

Xin Qianyu thought about it and thought it was true, but she was still a little nervous: "No, I was just a little nervous, so I just said it casually."

"It doesn't matter." Su Zhong said, "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous. Generally speaking, the hard power of the company is what plays a decisive role. The keynote speaker will not have much impact on investment."

Xin Qianyu didn't expect Su Zhong to say such heart-warming words. He thought that with Su Zhong's emotional intelligence, he had already agreed without pouring cold water on himself, but he didn't expect to be able to comfort himself.

The CFO said: "That's true, but if you can't answer investors' questions, or if the speaker speaks poorly, it will also affect investors' confidence."

Xin Qianyu blinked, and found that this stern cfo was becoming more and more hideous, no wonder everyone in the board of directors regarded him as a bad boy.

And this "Shen Shen" continued to speak: "Of course, a charismatic speaker can add a lot to the whole project, and even affect the quotation."

Su Zhong said, "Don't worry, Xiaoyu is very attractive."

Xin Qianyu's heart skipped a beat, and she said shyly, "Thank you, you are also very attractive."

Su Zhong shook his head: "Compared to you, I have no charm."

Xin Qianyu was speechless for a moment, and Su Zhong stared at Xin Qianyu's face in a daze.

"Can you be more serious?" The cfo couldn't understand their affectionate gaze, and said coldly, "Are you here for the IPO or for sex?"

Being poked by the cfo, Xin Qianyu's face became hot.He cleared his throat, and immediately brought the topic back to the main track: "I don't know what you think? Do you think we can complete the fundraising goal of [-] million US dollars this time?"

CFO said: "I don't know about this, and it's not within my scope of responsibility."

Su Zhong said, "It's definitely possible."

Xin Qianyu frowned: "What if it's not possible? If I screwed up..."

Su Zhong held Xin Qianyu's hand tightly, and said, "If it doesn't work, it must not be your problem. I was the one who intervened in the whole process. If something goes wrong, it's my problem. I will help you spend the [-] million yuan. Dollars make up."

Xin Qianyu turned her face away: "Cut, I don't need this money." Among other things, Xin Qianyu's investment company has a good income, and it is still worth tens of millions.

Su Zhong said: "You are not short of money, I want to give you money myself."

The cfo thought: What the hell, he started flirting again.Since they don't have a shortage of tens of millions, can't they open a house alone?

In fact, what Su Zhong said to comfort Xin Qianyu was very reasonable: the keynote speaker will not have a great impact on the stock issuance.The decisive factor is the hard work off the stage, and what depends on the rigid conditions disclosed in the ipo information.In other words, if a company with great potential goes public, investors will buy and buy whatever the speaker says.On the contrary, if the company is not attractive enough, it will be difficult to reverse the decline even if the speaker is eloquent.

However, if the master speaks well, it can also play the role of "icing on the cake".

Yuzhuo plans to conduct a 10-day IPO roadshow in the United States.

The first road show made Xin Qianyu the most nervous.

The location is very unsurprisingly set at a five-star hotel.Xin Qianyu put on a custom-made suit and combed her hair, looking suave and suave.

Although he was beating drums with nervousness, when he walked into the hotel exhibition hall, he still had a calm smile on his face and firm steps, as if he had been on the battlefield.

Before going on stage, Su Zhong said to Xin Qianyu: "Didn't you be a lecturer before? Just treat it as if you were giving lectures to students. You are very charming when you lecture."

Xin Qianyu can accept everyone's compliments calmly—except those from Su Zhong.

Xin Qianyu brushed her temple hair with her hands, intending to cover up her red ears: "What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't watched my lecture."

"I've watched it." Su Zhong said, "I downloaded all your recorded lectures and watched them many times."

Xin Qianyu looked at Su Zhong in astonishment.

Su Zhong had a gentle expression, deep in his eyes was a tenderness that could drown people.

Xin Qianyu hurriedly turned around and walked towards the exhibition hall.

Xin Qianyu took a deep breath, thinking about Su Zhong's words on the stage: Just treat it as a lecture...

Such hints seemed to be really useful, and Xin Qianyu quickly found a familiar state.He also has to thank his experience as a lecturer, which enabled him to speak clearly and articulately in front of the public.

The people in the audience are similar to the students in the big class. A small number of people will listen carefully and respond, while most people are absent-minded. This is not because Xin Qianyu speaks badly, but because the audience Most of them are professional investment analysts, and they have thoroughly read Yuzhuo's IPO information before coming here.Therefore, they understood what Xin Qianyu said early on, so they didn't listen carefully.

After Xin Qianyu finished her speech, she was not nervous at all, she just felt hearty, with a confident smile on her face.

In the first roadshow, they completed a subscription of [-] million. Although it was only an intentional subscription, this number was enough to make Xin Qianyu extremely excited.

Because, Xin Qianyu's original fundraising goal was only [-] million!

They carried out roadshows in major cities along the planned route, and it was a smooth journey.

The last road show was in New York, and it was a great success. They raised a total of 50 billion, 50 times his goal.

After the road show, Xin Qianyu and Su Zhong went to a dinner party together, and there were many investors in the dinner party.Xin Qianyu looked at the shadowy figure, and suddenly felt a sense of a world away.

He remembered three years ago, when he and Su Zhong attended a reception together.

At that time, he existed as an accessory of Su Zhong, and everyone only saw Su Zhong but not him.When everyone talked about the topic of investment, he couldn't get in the way.There was even a rich man who asked Suzhong to open a special account to verbally humiliate him...

These seem to be the same as the previous life.

Now, Xin Qianyu became the center of the banquet, and everyone chatted with him enthusiastically.

He is no longer the one who can't understand the words of the financial industry, he can freely join in any topic.Besides, the most frequently mentioned topic now is Yuzhuo ipo.

Xin Qianyu communicated with everyone with a reserved smile, relatively few words.

Three years ago, everyone secretly teased Xin Qianyu for being so dull and stupid.

Now, people say that Xin Qianyu has the introvertedness and reservedness unique to oriental people.

——Although, Xin Qianyu was just too tired from the road show to be too lazy to talk.

Xin Qianyu dodged the crowd and wanted to go to the bathroom to get some air, but she unexpectedly ran into a familiar face—it was this person.

Xin Qianyu remembered that it was this person who begged Su Zhong to open a special account with a billion dollars, but Su Zhong refused him because his quota was already full.This person didn't give up, and ran to the bathroom to block Xin Qianyu.After being rejected by Xin Qianyu, he also humiliated Xin Qianyu very rudely.

Xin Qianyu glanced at the other party, and the other party came forward to smile, as if he had forgotten about it.

Thinking about it, I am just a small person in the eyes of a rich man like the other party, and it has happened for so long, it is normal to forget.

Xin Qianyu nodded lightly and was about to walk by.The man came up and introduced himself politely.Xin Qianyu nodded and smiled. After three years, she didn't know the name of this person.

The man continued: "Mr. Xin, I'm not in New York these few days, and I just missed your Yu Zhuo's road show."

"Oh? Really? That's such a pity." Xin Qianyu said.

The man said with a pleasant face again: "However, I sincerely want to subscribe. Look..."

Xin Qianyu showed the lofty attitude of Su Zhong back then, and said, "I'm sorry, the subscription quota is already full. Even if I'm the CEO, I can't add it casually."

The man smiled: "Of course, you have to pay more, you can make a price."

Xin Qianyu didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

To say the least, Xin Qianyu is really not the same.Su Zhong said, "When the quota is full, it is full. If you give me one billion, I won't fill it up."But as long as Xin Qianyu has enough money, there is nothing wrong with it.

Xin Qianyu then said a number.

Unexpectedly, the man readily agreed: "Yes!"

Surprised, Xin Qianyu turned around and told Su Zhong about this matter, and joked, "I thought he would bargain."

Su Zhong only said, "He won't."

"Why?" Xin Qianyu was curious, "Because he is so rich?"

Su Zhong said, "Because you are worth it."

Xin Qianyu's heart skipped a beat, she cleared her throat, and said, "It's Yu Zhuo who deserves it."

"Without you, jade carving wouldn't be worth the price." Su Zhong said seriously.

Perhaps this is indeed the case. If it is according to Xin Simu's plan, Yuzhuo will buy a shell and go public in China, and it will definitely not be as good as it is now.

But it's not just Xin Qianyu's credit.

Xin Qianyu also let go of a lot of grievances, and looked at Su Zhong sincerely: "This sentence is also for you."

If there is no heart, jade will not be worth the price.

At this moment, the two of them stood under the bright lights, shining equally movingly, which can be called a "perfect match".

At this moment, they are not a pair of loving lovers, nor a pair of hopeless resentful spouses, but just a pair of compatible partners.They raised their glasses and looked at each other with admiration and approval in their eyes, and maybe a little bit of drunkenness mixed with the wine.

Su Zhong lowered his eyes and said, "It's really boring here, should we go to Las Vegas?"

"Las Vegas?" Xin Qianyu was taken aback, "This is New York! How do I get there?"

Su Zhong said: "Take a helicopter, it will be very fast."

Las Vegas is a city that never sleeps.

It was already late at night when Su Zhong and Xin Qianyu got there, and late at night was the busiest time in Las Vegas.Instead of gambling, they chose a lively bar to drink.

Xin Qianyu watched the performance on the stage while drinking, his eyes became foggy, and time seemed to go back in front of his eyes, so he couldn't help talking about the past like an old man: "Do you remember? You come to m-global On the first Christmas of [-], you were in Las Vegas, and I was in China... I agreed that I would come to you, but something suddenly happened to the project I was working on. At that time, I was very busy, I can't help feeling resentful, why are you so happy in Vegas..."

Su Zhong was startled: "I'm not romantic and happy."

"Hey." Xin Qianyu sneered, her tone was much more relaxed, she shook her head with a smile and said, "It's okay."

Looking at it now, the blank stares, frustrations, and hardships at the beginning are all passing, and flowers and applause are the best medicine to heal self-esteem.

Xin Qianyu sighed, "I don't care anymore."

Su Zhong looked at Xin Qianyu's slightly drunken cheeks under the light: "I hope you care."

Xin Qianyu was so drunk that she seemed to be immersed in the liquid in the glass, she didn't respond to Su Zhi, she just drank another glass.

One cup after another, just like drinking water.

Xin Qianyu has not been so indulgent for a long time.He should have known he shouldn't drink so much, but he craned his neck and downed glass after glass of strong liquor.He could not tell whether he was happy or sad.At this moment, half of him is soaking in the cold sea water, while the other half is scorching hot in the flames.

Soon, half of his body was paralyzed, and then his brain couldn't move at all.

Xin Qianyu quickly entered a state of drunkenness, and everything in front of her eyes became a product of stream of consciousness:

It was as if the waves were churning on the surface of the sea, the original calmness no longer existed, and the stars reflected on the sea surface also began to shake and twinkle.

Both the sun and the moon are present, one side is gentle and the other is fiery.

The night in Las Vegas seems to be like this, it is easy to get drunk.

Everyone is so stupid and so happy, everything becomes reasonable, and the most ridiculous things are not ridiculous.

He wanted to spin, run, and dance, but he found that what he wanted most was actually a hug.

Su Zhong gave him a hug, a hug like a knot.

the next morning.

Of course, this is an American morning.

And the American day is the domestic night.

Xin Mu was in China, sitting in the clubhouse drinking, when he received an urgent call from his son.She found a quiet place to answer: "What's wrong?"

Xin Qianyu's panicked voice came through the phone: "Mom, I made a big mistake!"

"What's wrong?" Xin Mu asked worriedly, "What's wrong with your voice?"

Xin Qianyu drank a glass of water to moisten her dry throat, and then said, "Uh, my voice is fine, I just drank too much last night..."

Xin Mu heard the two key words "I drank too much last night" and "I made a mistake", and guessed, "You and Su Zhong are dating?"

"It's worse than that." Xin Qianyu clutched her headache from the hangover, not knowing how to explain it.
