Chapter 532 Investor Night 4 (Transformation)
Floor-to-ceiling window.
The dusk spreads across the sky like ink,
The sky is getting darker.
The buildings on the Bund gradually lit up with warm yellow lights, complementing the cold neon lights of Lujiazui, creating a picture of a bustling city.
In the VIP room, the crystal chandelier casts a soft light, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere.
Anne Kate from Jingwu Capital stood in the center of the crowd, like a dazzling star,
But at this moment, she is willing to serve as a foil.
Just holding Tang Song’s left arm, standing beside him with a smile, watching him socialize with others.
Their footsteps are moving towards the central area of the VIP room. Every step seems to be stepping on the apex of Shen Yuyan's heart, causing ripples.
Shen Yuyan knows very well about Jingwu Capital and is full of yearning for it.
This is partly because of the idol Jin Meixiao, but also because Ren Mingyuan and Wang Yubo have "painted a big cake" for her in the past few days and specially introduced a lot of detailed information.
In the comprehensive ranking of global private equity companies in 2022, Jingwu Capital ranked tenth.
Its predecessor was Singapore’s Anda Capital, which was renamed Sinsight Capital after being acquired in 2016.
Although this company is registered in the Cayman Islands and its global headquarters is in Singapore, everyone knows it.
This is actually a Chinese company through and through.
“Sin” represents the East and China; “sight” symbolizes insight, vision and insights.
SSC (Sing Wu Capital) is not only involved in private equity, but also in hedge funds, real estate, special opportunities and other business fields.
It is rumored that its managed funds have exceeded US$200 billion.
It has formal branches in 18 core cities around the world, with more than 5,200 full-time employees, and the core team is highly elite.
In fact, this world’s largest private equity company in the technology field is inextricably linked to Smile Holdings and Tangyi Precision.
Even Director Jin himself is a member of the Global Executive Committee of Jingwu Capital.
The members of this committee are mysterious and powerful, and it is rumored that there are also top figures such as Nobel Prize winners in economics and former political officials.
In order to make friends with the executives of Jingwu Capital China through Wang Yubo, Shen Yuyan did all his homework.
She not only memorized all the investment cases of Jingwu Capital in the past three years in China, but also conducted in-depth research on the background, industry trends and logic behind each project.
She clearly knows that these details are the key to winning the other party's approval.
In addition, she also kept in mind the information of the major institutions and technology companies participating in the "Investor Night" tonight - from the founding team to the financing process to the core business model, no one was left out.
This was the reason why she dared to express herself to Tang and Song Dynasties and accompany him on social occasions.
At this moment, looking at Anne Kate who was accompanying Tang Song.
All her preparation, hard work, confidence, and pride have turned into a complete joke.
"That is Ms. Kate, she is more beautiful than the one in the magazine."
"Vivian, you joined the job relatively late. Ms. Kate once came to our headquarters to represent Kate Trust."
"Arthur, you came from the Kate Fund. You should know Ms. Kate, right?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure if Ms. Kate still remembers me."
The voices of three colleagues from Rongliu Capital came to my ears.
【Kate Trust? Kate Fund? 】
“”Vivian. Shen Yuyan turned around stiffly and looked at Zhang Weiran, who was slightly familiar with her. Her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, "Is this Ms. Kate related to the Kate Consortium?"
Despite her efforts to remain calm, her voice was still trembling.
"Yes, Ms. Kate was born in the Kate family."
This sentence was like a sharp blade piercing Shen Yuyan's heart, and her throat rolled.
Anne Kate, co-founder of Jingwu Capital, Kate Fund, Kate Group? Tang and Song Dynasties?
A series of words flashed through her consciousness like lightning, making her mouth dry and her face as pale as paper.
The scarlet barrage floated past:
[Ahhhh! Kate Consortium! Anne Kate! 】
【How is that possible? How could this happen? 】
【Why is this? I'm going to die! 】
Immediately afterwards, she remembered some almost forgotten fragments in her mind.
When she first met Lin Muxue at Ordinary Culture Media.
The business card she introduced herself to was the assistant of the Juqing Huijin Committee, and besides the Tang and Song Dynasties, the committee also included Luo Bin and a foreigner.
That foreigner seems to be called Ms. Kate?
And Lin Muxue said that many of Juqing Huijin’s employees come from Kate Trust and Jingwu Capital.
At that time, all her attention was on Luo Bin. After all, he was the legal counsel of Smile Group. He often appeared in news reports and had a close relationship with her idol Jin Meixiao.
In addition, the surname Kate is not uncommon, and some familiar Hollywood stars also have the surname Kate.
She didn’t think much about it.
Unexpectedly, this foreshadowing was laid as early as the very beginning.
Anne Kate and Tang Song, they are so close.
At this moment, these memories came flooding back, and every detail was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart.
[It turns out that all the clues have been in front of me for a long time, but I chose to ignore them.]
[I am still too superficial! Too little knowledge and not enough knowledge! 】
【Why didn't you pay more attention to it before? If you had known earlier, would everything have been different? 】
Anne Kate is not only from the top consortium in the United States, but also the co-founder of Jingwu Capital.
How special is this identity?
It is probably equivalent to standing at the top of the pyramid of the global capital market, holding the fate of countless people in your hands.
It’s really the pinnacle of power.
At this moment, Tang Song looked over and looked at her.
His eyes stayed on her for a long time.
Shen Yuyan's dry mouth opened slightly, as if she was expecting something,
However, Tang Song did not show any abnormality, and still talked calmly to the people around her, as if her existence was indeed insignificant.
Shen Yuyan bit her lower lip, trying to calm herself down with the pain.
But her eyes could not conceal her inner inferiority and pain.
[I am just his "special consultant", not even qualified to get close to him]
[Lin Muxue and Guo Liyuan, each of them knows how to seize opportunities better than me, but I always hesitate and get nothing in the end!]
[Perhaps, I don’t deserve to stand here at all. 】
“Special consultant—special consultant haha. I chose the wrong one again—”
Shen Yuyan murmured to himself, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible, but her heart was shattered like a collapsed high-rise building.
Although Rongliu Capital’s consultant status is glamorous and its status is high enough, it is at best a role representing the company in participating in activities.
There is no essential difference between Vivian and the others.
But what if she had chosen the identity of "Special Assistant"? That means she is a direct extension of Tang and Song Dynasties, and represents him to a certain extent.
The closeness and social resources attached to this status are far beyond what a "special consultant" can match.
For example, at this moment, she could have stepped forward boldly, stood beside Tang Song as an assistant, received business cards for him, noted down the appearance and identity of important people, and reminded him at critical moments.
Once upon a time, she had always imagined that with her careful preparation, ability and emotional intelligence, she would stand beside him on a more equal footing and win his recognition and appreciation.
Like Gao Mengting, become his entrepreneurial partner, or even more.
However, now that Tang Song’s true identity has been revealed, coupled with the appearance of Anne Kate, all this has become an ironic joke.
The color of the barrage above the head suddenly turned pitch black:
[Haha, Shen Yuyan, you are a clown! You are a joke! 】
【You dare to talk about ambitions and dreams without even understanding the most basic information! 】
【Shen Yuyan! Why do you want to be another Jin Meixiao? 】
Shen Yuyan’s eyes were red and her eye sockets were slightly moist.
Just when she fell into self-denial, Tang Song's eyes swept over again and stayed on her body.
Shen Yuyan testified.
【He is still looking at me·】
This is the third time since they saw Anne Kate.
Tang and Song Dynasty would always look at her from time to time.
Although Tang Song never showed any emotion, his gaze itself showed one thing - he was still paying attention to her.
Even if she was accompanied by a top-notch white, rich and beautiful person, a world-famous lady, and a person at the pinnacle of power, he still gave her some attention.
【Maybe he is giving me a chance? 】
"Bang, bang, bang - one by one" The heart beat violently, as if it was trying to break free from the chest.
【What's the use of regret? No matter how much I blame myself now, it won't help. I have missed too many opportunities! 】
【I am not qualified to compare with Anne Kate, but why should I compare myself with her? 】
【What I should do is seize every opportunity! 】
【If I want to touch the elusive future, Tang and Song Dynasties are my only chance! It is also the biggest opportunity in my life! If you miss it, it’s really over! 】
【Shen Yuyan! How long will you continue to feel sorry for yourself? ! 】
【You didn’t climb here from a breakfast stand in Los Angeles to be a coward! 】
Shen Yuyan gently closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, the tears had disappeared, replaced by a firm and bright smile.
She raised her head, took steps, and walked towards the direction of Tang and Song Dynasties.
In my mind, I can’t help but flash through my past.
She was born in Luocheng, Henan Province, an extremely ordinary third-tier city.
Starting from setting up a breakfast stall, my parents gradually turned the stall into a breakfast shop with their hands.
She spent most of her childhood at her parents’ breakfast stall, watching them get up early and stay up late, working hard to make a living.
However, the hardship of life has not earned the respect it deserves.
She witnessed with her own eyes the scene where her parents were bullied, begged for help, and their dignity was trampled on.
These images were deeply engraved in her heart at a young age, quietly planted like a seed of admiration, and gradually affected her outlook on life.
As she grows older, she gradually shows her talents in observation and communication.
In the process of dealing with all kinds of people, she saw more rules and unspoken rules of society, and became increasingly aware of the importance of power.
This experience made her admiration for Qiang more and more clear, and even evolved into an almost crazy obsession.
She longs to stand at the top of power and to escape the fate of being despised and trampled upon, and this desire burns her heart like a flame, driving her to constantly pursue higher goals.
As the "Investor Night" officially approaches, melodious music sounds and flows slowly in the venue.
The figure of Tang and Song Dynasty is bathed in the light, reflected in her pupils.
【I haven’t completely lost yet! 】
【Seize now! Get him! Get him! 】
The familiar scent of perfume wafted over.
A soft and sweet voice sounded in his ears: "Mr. Tang."
Tang Song stopped talking to others, turned around slowly, and his eyes fell on Shen Yuyan.
Following his movements, the surrounding crowd consciously shifted their attention, and whispers of conversation continued, leaving this space for the two of them.
Only Anne was still standing next to Tang Song, looking at this "consultant-Shirley" with cold eyes.
She would not have paid attention to such a little girl originally, even though there seemed to be some warm interactions between the other party and Tang and Song.
But who gave her the title of "consultant"?
When they first met, the aloof Song introduced her with the title "consultant".
For Anne, it was a special memory that made her feel special and a good time.
As arrogant as she is, she naturally cannot tolerate the appearance of another "advisor" in her field, especially when this identity is closely related to the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Shen Yuyan's heart suddenly trembled. Feeling the invisible pressure, she couldn't help but lower her head again. She tightened her fingers slightly, trying to hide her inner uneasiness.
Tang Song raised his eyebrows, let go of Anne's arm, and said in an unmistakable tone: "Annie, Shirley and I will have a few words alone."
Anne's light eyes looked at Tang Song, feeling the familiar sense of oppression.
At this moment, she finally saw some shadows of the "Song" in him.
This discovery made her even more excited.
Licking her plump and moist lips, Annie leaned into Tang Song's ear and murmured in a lazy voice: "Okay, my temporary master, but you have to remember, I won't go far."
After saying that, she chuckled and left with graceful steps.
"Tell me, what's wrong Shirley?"
Shen Yuyan pursed her lips, leaned forward, and whispered: "I... want to make a choice."
Her voice was very soft, but extremely clear "Oh? Why?"
Tang Song's eyes fell on her face, there was no surprise, no ridicule, only a kind of calmness that was almost scrutinizing.
The heart is beating wildly and the blood is roaring in the eardrums.
Shen Yuyan's fingers gently tightened the chain of the handbag, "I regret it. I realized that I underestimated the importance of certain things. I apologize to you, I'm sorry!"
Tang Song did not respond immediately.
Shen Yuyan raised his head slightly and looked directly at Tang Song, with a stubbornness and desire in his eyes.
The scarlet barrage is burning:
[As long as you give me this chance! I can do anything for you! 】
【As long as you need it, I can do it! 】
"Brush!" The system light curtain automatically unfolds in front of you.
[Act III]
[At 17:22 on October 8, after experiencing a series of shocks, blows, entanglements, regrets, inferiority and other emotions, Shen Yuyan's pride was completely shattered, her psychological defenses were completely collapsed, and she took the initiative to propose a replacement to you. Her inner desire for you is stronger than ever. ]
[You understand, the nature of her ambition is "dependent" - she needs an absolutely strong person as the object of attachment]
[She brainwashed herself through | Reconstructing the Narrative, proving that she has the psychological quality of a top speculator and is a very good observation object]
[In order to control the test subject (Shen Yuyan) more accurately and further deepen the influence on her, you decided to give her the status of "Special Assistant" at the following dinner party and place her next to you so that she can experience the true operation of power up close]
[Accompanied by Anne Kate, the dinner scene will become On your stage, you become the absolute core with an absolutely strong attitude]
[In the question session after the financing presentation of Win-win Technology, you will allow Shen Yuyan, as your assistant, to question Win-win Technology and interrupt Win-Win Technology’s Series C financing plan. Please carefully observe her psychological fluctuations]
"Mr. Tang," Shen Yuyan's voice was trembling, "I hope to assist you in socializing and contacting you as your "special assistant" in the coming time, is that okay? ”
The system light curtain slowly dissipated.
"Are you sure you won't regret it this time?"
"Absolutely not!"
Tang Song calmly reached out and took out a nameplate from the inner pocket of his suit.
The silver metal surface glows with a cold luster under the light.
Shen Yuyan's eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid.
【Give it to me! Give me! I want! ]
Her hand subconsciously reached out, and when her fingertips almost touched the nameplate, she suddenly stopped.
Shen Yuyan opened her mouth, her eyes panicked, "I'm sorry - just now - me."
[Shen Yuyan! What's wrong with you! To be stupid at such a critical moment! 】
【You waste! 】
At this time.
Tang Song's hand suddenly reached to her chest, under Shen Yuyan's dull eyes.
He took off the "Special Consultant" nameplate.
Immediately afterwards, without any pause in his movements, another brand-new nameplate was firmly pinned on.
Shen Yuyan lowered his head slowly, his eyes falling on the silver nameplate on his chest - the concise and powerful handwriting came into view:
SPECIALASSISTANT (ToTangSong).
【Special Assistant of the Tang and Song Dynasties·】
Those few words were like an electric current hitting the bottom of her heart, and complex emotions surged into her heart instantly.
There is relief, expectation, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction, as if some regret has finally been made up for.
【Did I win the bet——.? 】
