Chapter 484 Dong Xuan Wants to Trade
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Bund on the other side of the Huangpu River is sparkling.
The atmosphere in the living room was somewhat tense.
"Didn't you say we should talk in person?"
Luo Yang held the goblet between two fingers and gently swirled the golden champagne inside: "I want to know how big a pie President Dong has promised you."
"Boss, I know you are angry."
Even though the temperature outside was still in single digits, Cong Shanshan still wore a skirt.
She knelt on the thick carpet, holding the bottle in her hand and refilling Luo Yang's glass with wine while saying, "But you must have misunderstood me."
"Oh?"
Luo Yang withdrew his gaze from the window and focused his attention on Cong Shanshan's face.
She stretched out her hand to lift Cong Shanshan's chin, looked at her for a moment, and then said, "Please start your sophistry."
"I submitted my resignation letter after the beginning of the year. At that time, President Dong was still the director of the credit department, so my resignation letter had to be approved by her."
Cong Shanshan did not avoid Luo Yang's gaze, and raised her head to respond: "President Dong did call me to his office on the third day to ask about the reason for my resignation. I did not hide it from her. After all, you have a good relationship with her. She will definitely know that I will help you in the future."
Luo Yang stared into Cong Shanshan's eyes, said nothing, and listened quietly to her explanation.
"But she didn't say anything that time and let me leave first."
Cong Shanshan continued: "I thought she had agreed, so I kept waiting for the HR department to talk to me. Who knew that they would talk to me again on the day the appointment announcement came out."
"According to what you said, Dong Xuan didn't approve your resignation application at all?"
Hearing this, Luo Yang also began to wonder: "So what did she talk to you about this time?"
"Boss, Dong Xing wants to make a deal with you."
Ever since he received Cong Shanshan's call in the afternoon, Luo Yang had been guessing what Dong Xuan would say, but after hearing this sentence, he found that his guesses were all wrong.
"what?"
Luo Yang let go of his hand with a look of surprise on his face: "Deal? What deal?"
"Mr. Dong asked if you could hand over the management of your personal assets to the Pudong Branch of Yongcheng Bank while your personal assets are not that much?"
While Cong Shanshan was answering, she was paying attention to Luo Yang's facial expression.
When she saw Luo Yang's gaze shifted to the coffee table, she immediately put down the bottle of wine in her hand, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it in her own mouth, and then put it in Luo Yang's mouth.
"what?"
Luo Yang was amused.
He smiled and said, "If I were going to let the bank manage my personal assets, why would I look for you? Didn't you explain this to her?"
"I've explained it, but there's still a follow-up to Dong Xing's transaction."
Cong Shanshan continued, "What she meant was that your personal assets are not that big now, so putting them in Yongcheng Bank for custody won't have much impact on you. The key point is that you told me last time that in three to five years, the scale of your personal assets that you need to manage may reach tens of billions."
"so what?"
“So in three to five years, if Dong Xing wants to move up further, he may need your help!”
Luo Yang: “.”
In fact, when it comes to the scale of hundreds of billions, Luo Yang had a vague idea in his mind.
Dong Xuan visited him at the company once a few years ago and talked about his future plans, including the idea of moving to a bigger stage.
Previously, because of the reorganization of Gray Rhino, Luo Yang asked Dong Xuan to help recommend talents in the financial profession, and he owed her a favor.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to return the favor, but Dong Xuan postponed it.
She kept this favor in the hope that Luo Yang could help her at some critical moment in the future.
Of course, this favor is not big, and even if it is to be repaid, it is still a favor.
But Luo Yang believed that in the future, Dong Xuan would definitely make him owe her more and bigger favors.
Unexpectedly, before she could accumulate favors, an opportunity came from the sky, and Dong Xuan had to grab it quickly.
You can imagine that the scale of private assets under Luo Yang's custody, let alone reaching tens of billions, even if it is four or five billion, when Dong Xuan wants to jump to a bigger stage, being able to bring asset management projects of this level over will definitely be a huge weight.
"Let my personal assets be entrusted to Yongcheng Bank for management first?"
Luo Yang smacked his lips and said, "It seems that the department that President Dong is in charge of now involves private banking. No wonder she came to talk to you after the appointment was announced."
"Yes, boss."
Seeing that Luo Yang understood what he meant, Cong Shanshan replied, "Dong Xing wants to transfer me over as well and form a special team to serve you!"
"hehe."
Luo Yang shook his head and smiled.
"If it's a deal, then what does she have to trade with me?"
After taking a sip of champagne, Luo Yang put down the glass and leaned back in his chair: "What's more, she didn't even come for such a big event. Is this sincerity?"
Even though the personal assets that Luo Yang has put up for trust are only worth 5000 million, he is also a VIP client and it is worth it for Dong Xuan to come forward to fight for this business. Sending Cong Shanshan over now, how can it be respectful to him?
"boss"
"Don't call me boss!"
Luo Yang said with a sullen face: "Now you help Dong Xuan convey this meaning, indicating that you are no longer planning to resign. From now on, please call me Mr. Luo!"
"No, Boss, I really didn't betray you!"
When the cold voice came into her ears, Cong Shanshan's heart suddenly tightened.
She immediately hugged Luo Yang's calf, looked up and explained: "Boss, I'm just passing on a message for President Dong. If you don't agree, I will definitely resign and follow you."
Luo Yang smoked a cigarette and looked at Cong Shanshan with disbelief.
"President Dong's appointment notice came out today, and he rushed back to Ningbo tonight. He will probably stay at the headquarters for a day or two. After he returns, he will definitely be busy with social events for the next two or three days."
Cong Shanshan quickly explained why Dong Xuan did not show up in person.
This makes sense. When she takes up the post of deputy branch president, she will definitely go back to the headquarters to report on her work. Then the personnel and leaders at the headquarters will take her back to the branch to take up her post. This back-and-forth process is inevitable.
Besides, such a big event as being promoted to vice president, he couldn't help but invite his leaders, colleagues, confidants, and old subordinates to a banquet.
So within three to five days, Dong Xuan really didn't have time to meet with Luo Yang to discuss this matter.
"Dong Xing also said that you should wait for her for a few days. She will definitely come to your house in person to have a good chat with you then."
Cong Shanshan saw Luo Yang's expression ease up, and immediately hit the snake with the stick: "And Dong Xing didn't tell me about the deal she mentioned. Maybe she plans to discuss it with you in person."
If that's the case, Luo Yang can understand it.
"So you are here to help her find out the truth tonight?"
Even though he knew Dong Xuan would talk to him in a few days, Luo Yang still felt unhappy.
He leaned forward, looked at Cong Shanshan and said, "Tell me the truth, do you really want me and Dong Xuan to make a deal?"
As long as Luo Yang and Dong Xuan reach a deal, Cong Shanshan will be transferred to the private banking management department by Dong Xuan, and a separate team will be formed to serve Luo Yang.
For Cong Shanshan, continuing to stay in the banking system and getting promoted and getting a raise must be a huge temptation.
"no!"
Cong Shanshan bit her lower lip and said, "As long as the boss doesn't agree to the deal with Dong Xing, I will definitely resign."
Kicking the ball back to Luo Yang's feet, after all, she still avoided the question.
Ha ha.
Women in the financial world.
Luo Yang pinched Cong Shanshan's chin with one hand and patted her face with the other hand: "I want to see what conditions Dong Xuan can offer me."
In the eyes of outsiders, perhaps what Luo Yang took out were just some Hong Kong and US stocks, and shares of two small domestic companies that had just been established, with a total value of barely 5000 million.
But for Luo Yang, even if he does not increase his investment, in four or five years, the current stocks he has will appreciate by at least 10 times, not to mention the shares of Mihoyo and Toutiao. The 100 billion yuan Luo Yang mentioned before was a cautious estimate.
The assessed value varies greatly in the eyes of different people. How could Dong Xuan offer conditions that satisfy him?
Therefore, Luo Yang believed that even if Dong Xuan came forward in person to negotiate with him, there would most likely be no results.
However, if Luo Yang were to propose the conditions, Dong Xuan would probably think that he was asking for too much.
The two sides are not on the same channel at all!
"Boss, I feel that President Dong is quite determined this time."
Although it was not a slap, being slapped on the face like this is still a great insult.
But Cong Shanshan did not show any dissatisfaction, instead, she showed herself more actively: "President Dong originally planned to call you in person, say hello first, and then ask you to meet and chat in a few days."
"Ok?"
Luo Yang was stunned for a moment.
"it's me!"
Cong Shanshan looked at Luo Yang without blinking: "Boss, I took the initiative to ask Dong Xing to explain it to you."
This is incomprehensible.
Luo Yang asked in surprise: "Why?"
"Because. Because I want to slightly piss you off!"
After saying this, Cong Shanshan closed her eyes, as if she had accepted her fate.
Deliberately provoking. Damn!
What does it mean?
Cong Shanshan's face flushed visibly, which left Luo Yang stunned.
After a few seconds, Luo Yang understood.
Then, because of Cong Shanshan's bold move, he inexplicably no longer felt angry.
But punishment is inevitable.
In a room in this large apartment of more than 400 square meters, there are all kinds of tools, all of which were brought by Cong Shanshan herself.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang put out his cigarette.
"Snapped!"
Luo Yang stood up and said as he walked: "Bitch, crawl over here!"
Some people have to ask for a hammer to get a hammer.
The aftertaste continued until the next morning, and during the meeting, Luo Yang was distracted from time to time.
Especially during lunch break, when I look in the mirror and see myself in a suit, there is a dark corner in my inner world.
Was Mr. Lu also like this back then?
A few minutes before two o'clock, Song Wan came to Luo Yang's office to report on the progress of the shared bicycle project.
"Chairman, the software module will be completed by the end of next month at the latest. Judging from the current progress, we will be able to launch this project in school in the first half of the semester."
The woman was always direct in her words: "I have contacted the bicycle supplier you designated and they will provide the first batch of shared bicycles by the end of next month, with a quantity of no less than 1000. However, the purchase price has not been reduced. I suggest adding one or two more suppliers."
"I'll take care of the price."
The designated supplier is my father-in-law’s factory, and the price cannot be lowered because of the quantity.
"How do you plan to solve this problem?"
Song Wan asked in a pointed way.
“Tiered pricing.”
Luo Yang had already made plans, and he explained: "If the purchase quantity is within 10000 vehicles, the price is one level. When the purchase quantity reaches 100000 vehicles, the price coefficient will decrease accordingly. Similarly, every time the purchase quantity increases by one level, the price will decrease by one level. Such an agreement can be signed."
"But this cannot solve our problem of tight funding in the early stages."
Although Song Wan was satisfied with Luo Yang's tiered pricing agreement, she still frowned and said, "The total investment is only 100 million yuan at present. According to the original plan, this money should last until the angel investment stage. If the price of the bicycle cannot be reduced in the early stage, it will be meaningless."
What this means is that unless the investment department injects capital again.
“Do you have any relevant statistics?”
Luo Yang was not in a hurry: "How many bicycles are expected to be deployed in the entire Songjiang University Town?"
"There are seven universities in the university town, with nearly 7 students. According to the project plan, the number of bicycles invested here alone will reach 10 to 3500."
Song Wan knew the data of this project very clearly: "If it is only to meet the needs of Songjiang University Town, the initial funding of 100 million yuan is enough, but once it is promoted to other universities in the city, this money will be far from enough!"
"What about income?"
Luo Yang expressed a different opinion: "You didn't take into account the income generated by car rentals?"
"Chairman, you should know exactly how much this profit is."
Song Wan sighed and said, "This money is not even enough to build a Fudan University."
Luo Yang really wanted to talk about the deposit. A deposit of 50 to 100 yuan is collected for a car. This money can be used and almost recycled.
But he opened his mouth several times, but in the end, no words came out.
This thing is a double-edged sword. Taking it out when there is no institutional funding involved is equivalent to playing with yourself, and it may lead to a crash.
Moreover, the larger the scale, the greater the power of the explosion will be, and you might even kill yourself.
"Trying to lower the price of bicycles is not a fundamental solution to the problem."
When he thought of this, Luo Yang rubbed his eyes and said, "The best way is to raise funds as soon as possible and get the first expansion funds from investment institutions."
"It's easy to say, but no one knows what the actual situation will be like at that time."
Song Wan looked at Luo Yang and said, "Even if we make it to the angel round, people are not optimistic about the prospects of this project. It doesn't make much sense to use more than one-third of the shares to raise a few million yuan."
"I forgot that this is what your family does."
Seeing Song Wan's expression, Luo Yang smiled and teased her, "How about I leave the angel round to you? Not much, 1000 million will do!"
"Chairman, please stop teasing me."
Song Wan rolled her eyes at Luo Yang: "First of all, I can't make the decision on investment. Secondly, I have said before that even if I want to enter the market, it will not be the angel round. I have the courage to try new things, but my father and others may not have it!"
"That's it"
Luo Yang tapped the table with his fingers while thinking.
After a moment, he raised his head and said, "I will contact Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital next week. I met him in the capital last year. He suggested that I take some time to chat in Shanghai. I should get to know him first. After the subsequent project is promoted in the university town, I will ask him to talk to see if he is interested in this project."
"I'm afraid he's interested in Kunpeng Technology and Luo Sheng Tang!"
Song Wan was also there that night and indeed saw that Luo Yang and Shen Nanpeng had a good chat and even exchanged business cards.
She was sure that if Luo Yang wanted to make an appointment with Shen Nanpeng, he would definitely get the appointment.
But Luo Yang cannot control what Shen Nanpeng is interested in.
"It took a lot of effort to develop Kunpeng Technology, and I can't bear to let it go."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "It's Lemon CC under Luo Sheng Tang. If Shen Nanpeng is interested, we can talk about it."
Accelerate the expansion of Lemon CC and enhance the brand's valuation, killing two birds with one stone.
Because of the additional large amount of capital injection, we may be able to achieve the expected results one or two years earlier and sell Lemon CC at a good price.
As for the dilution of He Maosong and his colleagues' shares during the financing process,
If we say that the three of them played a certain role in the early stage of establishing Naixue, then for the product Lemon CC, these three brothers are completely free riding.
Even if some of their shares are diluted, they can still make a lot of money by selling them after the valuation is increased.
When it comes to business, at least in this matter, Luo Yang thinks he has done his best for his three brothers.
Moreover, the plan to enter the food industry that I discussed with An Ying at the end of last year also requires a large amount of start-up capital.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang took out the business card box and found Shen Nanpeng's business card from it.
How about making an appointment now?
It’s the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes!
