Chapter 533 Investor Night 5
The social square was brightly lit, and the entire space was as bright as day.
The air was filled with the faint aroma of champagne and the taste of exquisite snacks, and the guests gathered in groups.
Conversations in low voices and constant laughter.
"After signing in, guests usually come to the welcome reception area. This is a warm-up session for business socializing, mainly for ice-breaking, information screening, and resource pre-matching." Sun Jiayue stood next to Liu Jing, with a professional and calm tone, "Brother Liu, please come over here."
Wearing a neatly tailored professional suit with exquisite makeup, she exudes the capable temperament of a professional elite in her every move.
Liu Jing put one hand in his pocket and looked calm, "The scale of this event is indeed not small. It seems that the investment circle in Shanghai is really active."
Xu Pengyuan knew that the other party had a "high-profile" temperament, so he smiled and answered: "Yes, Brother Liu, an industrial transformation investment representative like you, It will definitely attract a lot of attention here. Jiayue and I both have some connections, so I will introduce it to Brother Liu when the time comes." Sun Jiayue nodded and added: "And there are many personal LPs here tonight, and even some representatives of family offices are here, and they have common topics with Brother Liu."
Liu Jing raised her eyebrows, which was quite helpful.
Although he could tell that the other party was complimenting him, he just followed this trick and found it quite interesting.
"How are you doing with your preparations? Do you have any special goals?"
Sun Jiayue gently lifted her hair on her temples and smiled: "I have made a list, mainly some that may be useful to us. LPs who are interested in the fund. Of course, in the end, it depends on the effectiveness of on-site communication, so I need help from Brother Liu. "
"Haha, let's go. Since I took your invitation from someone else, I will naturally do what I say."
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu."
In her mind, she couldn't help but think of Tang Song, the Lamborghini he drove and the VIP invitation.
Looking around subconsciously, he was not found.
As the crowd gradually became denser, Sun Jiayue said something and led the two of them to a small circle.
He looked at two of them.
One is a representative of Tianhong Family Office, and the other is an LP of Qihang Capital, both of which are on her list.
The three of them stood outside for a while and then blended in.
What makes Sun Jiayue happy is that although Liu Jing is a bit pretentious, she is still reliable in her work.
And he is a truly rich man, the second generation of rich people. He has his own temperament when talking and doing things. He can easily help her open up the situation. In just ten minutes, after contacting 3 or 4 circles, he got 5 business cards.
"How is it?" Xu Pengyuan approached her with a somewhat proud smile, "Is the person I found for you reliable? It is definitely more suitable than your high school classmate."
p>
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Thank you Pengyuan."
She felt much less guilty about Tang and Song Dynasty in her heart.
After all, it is now October, and the fourth quarter is a critical period for sprinting for performance.
In order to complete the task and not be eliminated, she must go all out.
Everything can only be result-oriented.
At this moment, Liu Jing came over with a glass of champagne, "Jiayue, Pengyuan, there are executives from Sequoia and IDG over there, let's go over and get to know each other?"
Sun Jiayue and Xu Pengyuan looked at each other and said with unnatural expressions: "Brother Liu, it's not appropriate for us to go up hastily. It's best to find an intermediary to help introduce. Why don't we wait until the party later?"
"Oh? Really-" Liu Jing raised her eyebrows, her face a little ugly, "What kind of middleman is needed?"
He heard the subtext of the other party, that he was not qualified.
Sun Jiayue pursed her lips, "Brother Liu, don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. It's just that these people are the real top figures in the investment circle, and they may be more accustomed to establishing connections through formal introductions."
Xu Pengyuan hurriedly went up to clink glasses with him, and reconciled with a smile: "Brother Liu, as you know, everyone is very particular about propriety in such occasions."
Liu Jing was obviously a little unhappy, and stopped chatting with them, and walked into a small circle holding the champagne.
Xu Pengyuan opened his mouth and stood there awkwardly.
Seeing this scene, Sun Jiayue sighed helplessly.
This kind of rich second-generation financier dad is really hard to take care of.
The key is, if she is really qualified to socialize with these big guys, why should she worry about the fundraising quota?
Isn’t it good to jump directly to these top capital consortiums?
This is her dream!
She is currently just a fundraising specialist for Hengyue Investment, and Hengyue is a small and medium-sized private equity fund with very low brand influence in the industry.
When she faced these top VIPs at the event, her status was highly "unequal".
Only with the help of public links (keynote speeches, round-table discussions) or indirect relationships can it be possible to communicate with the other party.
After a while.
The announcement from the host came from the lobby broadcast: "Dear guests, welcome to the "Investor Night·Inspiring the Future" party. The main venue will be opened soon. Please follow the staff's guidance and enter in an orderly manner."< /p>
Sun Jiayue stood aside, waited for a moment, and then stepped forward and said: "Brother Liu, let's go in first and familiarize ourselves with the venue. The atmosphere of the following party will be more relaxed. Then I will take you to meet more friends."
Hearing this, Liu Jing nodded lightly, put down the champagne glass in his hand, and followed Sun Jiayue and Xu Pengyuan towards the main venue.
As the distance got closer, a familiar figure came into view.
Zhang Nuo was looking at a camera and hurriedly walked through the crowd.
"Nono!" Sun Jiayue smiled and waved.
Seeing the three of them, Zhang Nuo quickened his pace and trotted over to greet him, "Jiayue, you are here!"
Sun Jiayue pointed to the camera in her hand and asked curiously: "Why are you still holding a camera? Didn't you agree to be an assistant today?"
Zhang Nuo shrugged helplessly, "Yes, I am here to be an assistant to the leader, but I have a temporary task and arrange it directly."
Then, she gave an overview of the situation,
Their company (Kaifeng Wealth) is a large financial services institution, involving investment consulting and investment banking business, and many of its customers are large companies and well-known institutions.
This time I came to the investor night, naturally as a VIP guest.
According to the process, these heavyweight guests need to wait until ordinary participants are seated before entering in batches, with an interval of two minutes between each batch.
She came with the leader this time. One of her tasks was to take photos of the scene and act as an atmosphere team. When their customers came, they cheered twice and shouted several honorifics at the same time.
Having said this, she said with a smile: "By the way, Tang Song just walked through the VIP channel. Maybe I can meet him later. Then we will see who the girl who brought him here is. What's your identity? I'll send you a message."
Sun Jiayue confirmed, "Yes."
Listening to their chat, Liu Jing's eyes showed some displeasure.
He came this time with the intention of making a splash, looking forward to opening up a niche for himself in the Shanghai investment circle at this high-end gathering.
Xu Pengyuan had previously said that he would help him "make a name for himself" and "pave the way for the future."
However, the reality was somewhat different from what he expected, and it was also different from what Xu Pengyuan had described before.
Those guests who entered through the VIP channel are obviously the real core circle of this event.
They do not need to queue up, do not need cumbersome security inspection procedures, and have media reports and interviews, enjoying unique treatment.
And those who came in with him, Sun Jiayue, and Xu Pengyuan can probably only be regarded as "peripheral".
Thinking of this, looking at the three people who were still talking, Liu Jing said casually: "You guys chat, I'll go in first."
After saying that, she walked inside.
Sun Jiayue’s expression changed, and she quickly followed him without even bothering to say goodbye to Zhang Nuo.
Obviously, this young man is angry.
Her fundraising quota and today's "Tool Man Plan" are all placed on Liu Jing. If she angers the other party, it will really be over.
Looking at Sun Jiayue's disappearing figure, Zhang Nuo felt a little worried, but she had no time to care about it now and walked quickly towards the "VIP exclusive channel".
This is located on the right side of the lobby. A "starlight channel" has been specially built. Through here, you can directly reach the reserved area in the front row of the venue.
On both sides of the passage, many financial reporters and media were already standing.
The sounds of chatter and laughter coming and going all around were very lively.
Zhang Nuo glanced around, quickly came to a woman in her 30s, and whispered: "Boss, the camera has been brought over!"
Wei Yilan took the camera and said with a serious expression: "Thank you for your hard work, Nonuo, today's occasion is very important. I heard that for some special reasons, the people coming from Jingwu Capital this time are surprisingly large."
Zhang Nuoyi whispered: "How big is it? Could it be a senior executive from the headquarters?"
"I don't know either." Wei Yilan shook her head. , "But judging from the attitude of the organizer, it is at least a global partner level."
"Ah!" Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a beat and he instantly became energetic, "So awesome"
Although "Investor Night" has a high standard, it is just a financial gathering in the Yangtze River Delta region. There are some international capitals, but they are all executives from China or the Asia-Pacific region.
The global partner of Jingwu Capital, that is definitely the most handsome guy tonight.
The time is approaching 18 o'clock.
The originally soothing background music in the hall suddenly became exciting.
At the same time, the spotlights on both sides of the VIP entrance channel suddenly lit up.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and get ready!" Wei Yilan clapped her hands and began to adjust the camera parameters.
Zhang Nuo stood in the crowd, his eyes shining, waiting for the arrival of Tang Song and looking forward to seeing the big boss from Jingwu Capital headquarters.
Soon, the first batch of guests appeared at the end of the passage.
More than a dozen financing technology companies participated in the opening presentation, including Win-win Technology, Kongming Touch, PWL, etc., including their company’s customers.
The flash lights on both sides of the red carpet lit up.
Journalists rushed to ask questions and conduct interviews.
In the spacious and luxurious main venue.
The lights gradually dimmed, and the lively chatter also subsided.
On the big stage directly opposite, the curved LED screen lit up with dark blue background light, and the conference LOGO appeared in the center, solemn and eye-catching.
The CNC light array at the top slowly lights up, focusing on the center of the stage.
Circular dining tables are arranged in a fan shape. On the tables are placed exquisite nameplates with the names of the guests, as well as high-end tableware and crystal clear wine glasses.
"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone! Welcome to the event of "Investor Night·Inspiring the Future""
The host's clear and contagious voice echoed in the venue, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Xu Pengyuan introduced to Liu Jing next to him: "Brother Liu, the important guests will enter next, and then there will be the official agenda,
including round table forums and project presentations. If you are interested, you can also participate."
His tone was respectful and a bit eager.
However, Liu Jing just responded lightly and glanced around.
Their location is at the side and rear of the entire venue, basically at the edge.
This made Liu Jing, who always had a high self-esteem, feel very uncomfortable.
The logos and guest information of several companies appeared on the big screen one by one, causing a murmur at the scene.
Look next, the spotlight suddenly shines on the VIP entrance area. With warm applause, the first batch of VIP guests walked into the venue and appeared on the big screen.
Sun Jiayue quickly introduced from the side: "The first one is Kongming Touch, a local company in Magic City. This is win-win technology, a technology company focusing on the smart home field. It just completed the B round in February this year, with a post-investment valuation of 350 million yuan. This time I heard that it will be led by Mingjian Capital for the C round of financing. It belongs to the "new generation information technology" field that is supported by the New OTC Market. , According to our company’s internal information, there is a high probability that it will enter the listing process later.”
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere at the scene gradually became high.
Groups of VIP guests, accompanied by greeters and organizer leaders, entered the main venue one after another.
Among these guests are industry leaders in various fields, as well as Asia-Pacific heads of international VC institutions, as well as executives from well-known private equity funds such as Wenbo Investment and Mingjian Capital.
Liu Jing was infected by the atmosphere at the scene, her mood improved, and she began to proactively ask about institutions and people she was interested in.
As the number of guests continued to increase, the discussion became more lively and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
The appearance of every name of the actual controller of a unicorn company, the chairman of an industry giant group, and executives from top investment institutions caused ripples in the air, triggering discussions and admiration on the spot.
"That is Sequoia China's VP in charge of consumer technology. He has led several major projects recently, including"
"That is the new director of IDG, who has just been transferred back from Silicon Valley."
Sun Jiayue and Xu Pengyuan sat next to Liu Jing, carefully introducing what they knew, and their mood was particularly exciting.
As a financial practitioner, I naturally look up to these industry leaders.
However, what surprised Sun Jiayue was that she never saw Tang Song, nor the beautiful girl who was traveling with him.
In fact, she actually cares about this high school classmate.
Not only because of Liu Qingning, but also because of some of the characteristics displayed by Tang and Song Dynasties that she admired very much.
Therefore, she became more and more curious about the origin of the girl he was with?
But the guests have already entered the venue one after another, but they are still missing.
Could it be that you came in directly from the ordinary passage?
At this moment.
“Buzz buzz—” The phone on the table suddenly vibrated crazily.
【Zhang Nuo】
Sun Jiayue confirmed, quickly picked up the phone and answered, "Hello, Nuo————"
Before she finished speaking, a harsh scream came from the receiver, as well as Zhang Nuo's incoherent voice: "Jingwu Capital Tang Tang Song! Rongliu Capital..."
Her tone was urgent and panicked, as if she had encountered something unbelievable.
Having known Zhang Nuo for more than seven years, this was the first time that Sun Jiayue heard her lose her composure.
"Nono, please slow down, what's going on? What happened to him in Tang and Song Dynasties?" Sun Jiayue tried to comfort the other party, "Ahhh! I-I don't know what to say! Unbelievable! You won't believe it! He's going in! Look up!"
Hearing her words, Sun Jiayue raised his eyebrows and looked up at the big screen in front of him.
Xu Pengyuan and Liu Jing next to them also vaguely heard the harsh shouting in the receiver, and then raised their heads.
Immediately afterwards, the halo of light circulated on the 20-meter-wide curved LED screen, and two eye-catching LOGOs appeared in the center.
On the left is the famous SSC (Sing Wu Capital).
On the right is a simple LOGO with the infinity symbol (∞) as the core design, and the label below is Confluent
Capital.
Below them, several names appeared.
After a short period of silence, the scene instantly became lively. Even in the VIP area in the front row, some people stood up excitedly,
All eyes were directed towards the entrance.
For them, everything is because of the eye-catching name "Anne Kate" and the position note "Chairman of the Strategy Committee" behind her.
Anyone who has done a little research on Jingwu Capital understands what this identity means and what kind of power and status this name represents.
"Chairman of the Strategy Committee—Kate—" Xu Pengyuan's throat rolled and he said in surprise: "Why did Jingwu Capital send so many heavyweights to the scene?"
When the event organizing committee promoted it before, it was said that Bai Xingwen, senior vice president of Jingwu Capital China, would be present.
In fact, this is already a great deal of face.
As a result, in addition to Bai Xingwen, there are now two partners and the chairman of the top-level Global Strategy Committee.
Such a lineup is completely enough to participate in world-class summits or forums,
"What's wrong with Jiayue?" Xu Pengyuan quickly noticed the abnormality of Sun Jiayue next to him, "Are you okay?"
Sun Jiayue did not answer, but stared in the direction of the big screen, her body trembling slightly.
Others were attracted by the identity of "Anne Kate" and fell into crazy discussions, but she noticed an extremely familiar name.
Sun Jiayue bit the tip of her tongue hard, and the clear pain reminded her that this was indeed not a dream.
Tang and Song Dynasties? ! ! !
Chairman of Rongliu Capital, CEO0?
If it weren’t for Zhang Nuo’s previous phone number, she would have thought it was just the same name.
But recalling what my best friend said, an unbelievable thought came to my mind.
This "Tang and Song Dynasty" is the Tang and Song Dynasty she knew.
But how is this possible?
VIP area, second row of seats.
Ren Mingyuan stood up suddenly, looked at an inconspicuous name on the screen, his pupils trembled: "Rongliu Capital?! Shen Yuyan? Special Assistant?"
His heart suddenly sank.
When they met Shen Yuyan by chance before, they did not take the information on her badge too seriously.
But now, this company appears at the same time as Jingwu Capital and enters the market side by side, which proves that its background is extraordinary.
Although I have never heard of this organization, its existence is no accident.
Moreover, Shen Yuyan’s identity is obviously not an ordinary special guest, but a core member who actually accompanied the representative team.
This is a critical period for Win-win Technology to raise capital and go public. They have been preparing for more than half a year and must not allow any accidents to happen.
Ren Mingyuan looked at Wang Yubo not far ahead.
The latter was sitting in the Mingjian Capital representative team, also looking at the name of Rongliu Capital, with an uncertain expression.
Without caring much, Ren Mingyuan quickly came to Wang Yubo and asked in a low voice: "Director Wang, Shen Yuyan, she—""
"What? Are you afraid that she will ruin our plan?" Wang Yubo raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I'm just worried."
"Don't worry, no matter what she says, she is just an assistant, and she is still invited to participate in the event temporarily. Besides, we at Mingjian Capital are not everyone can figure it out!
2
"Understood! It's true. If she really had such a trump card, she would have used it long ago, and she wouldn't have become like this."
Ren Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the spotlight slowly turned and landed accurately at the end of the VIP aisle.
The eyes of the whole audience gathered.
On the big screen, the picture flowed, and the camera captured the picture of the passage entrance.
Wang Yubo stood up and looked at the entrance of the passage with cold eyes.
Because he was so close, he could vaguely see the scene in the passage.
The first thing that appeared was a slender and tall silhouette, which seemed a bit familiar.
The leather shoes stepped into the beam.
The lights poured down like running water, outlining his figure extremely clearly and distinctly.
The jet-black hair was coated with a faint sheen, and a few strands of hair fell randomly in front of the forehead.
He walked out of the passage calmly and casually, his black and white eyes were calm and sharp.
Every part of his body exudes a cold and noble aura.
Wang Yubo’s breathing stagnated and his eyelids twitched rapidly.
This man is the man who appeared next to Shen Yuyan at the venue before.
The other party’s words “I don’t care who you are” were still fresh in his memory, and he kept thinking about investigating the other party’s identity and then waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.
I didn’t expect to see him again in this way.
Ren Mingyuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, his expression became dull and solemn,
Following him, a tall and sexy figure appeared beside him.
Wearing a suit and skirt of the same color as hers, she has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a devilish figure. She looks like a cover character who stepped out of a fashion magazine. The sapphire earrings in her ears reflect a cold light under the light, making her skin look like snow.
A pair of deep blue eyes are full of confidence and majesty, and the slightly raised red lips reveal an indescribably powerful aura. Every step she takes is elegant and calm, as if she was born to belong to this stage.
Behind the man and woman, seven or eight people walked out one after another.
Wearing a customized suit or professional suit, the man is capable and neat, and the woman is dignified and elegant, with a focused and solemn expression.
Everyone has extraordinary aura and firm eyes.
Under the guidance of the organizer, a group of ten people walked towards the front row of the VIP area, like a moving landscape,
Attracting everyone’s attention.
Warm applause sounded in the venue.
The side and rear of the main venue.
Xu Pengyuan sat on the chair blankly, his eyes as wide as copper bells.
Liu Jing naturally noticed that the boy was the one who drove the Lamborghini before, and was Sun Jiayue's classmate.
The corner of his mouth moved and he looked at Sun Jiayue, "What's going on? Isn't that man your classmate?"
Sun Jiayue stood up at some point and followed the figure with rapt attention.
She has worked at Modu Financial Company for 3 years and has participated in many events and meetings, large and small.
Of course I recognize some of them.
For example, Qi Botao and Bai Xingwen of Jingwu Capital.
At this moment, these people, including the noble Ms. Kate, are all willing to become his foil.
In the spotlight.
He always maintained a calm demeanor, as if the hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Like the bright moon hanging high, reflecting the stars.
One step behind him, Sun Jiayue saw the familiar figure, the woman they guessed at the time was the woman who took Tang and Song to participate in the event.
"How could this happen?" Sun Jiayue muttered to herself, still in disbelief.
It is difficult for her to understand the shock of the chairman of Rongliu Capital.
Before her eyes appeared the Tang and Song Dynasties in high school, as well as the Tang and Song Dynasties she had been exposed to in recent days.
It seems to be the same person, but it can never completely overlap with the boy in front of me.
This feeling is like a dream, an absurd but real dream.
Immediately afterwards, her ears echoed what he said that night when she invited Tang Song to play the role of a "technological upstart" LP and accompany him to the "Investor Night".
["You want me to be an LP?"]
["Let's do this, you can send me your company's fund product introduction later. If there is no big problem, I will seriously consider it."]
It turns out that he was serious at that time.
A deep sense of regret surged into my heart like a tide.
Just a few days ago, she canceled her invitation to Tang and Song Dynasties because of Liu Jing's appearance.
If he did not regret it, but brought Tang and Song to participate, would he also be a member of his family now?
The throbbing pain suddenly hit her heart, causing Sun Jiayue to hold her breath subconsciously, but it was unable to relieve the surging emotions in her heart.
