Chapter 3: Founding, meeting (2)

Views:

For the next few days, Wen Nuan was busy on the 66th floor handing over to Yang Ying, who was about to leave.

Even though Yang Ying had already carefully assigned the tasks at hand to her one by one, the large number of emails that came pouring in overnight still made her overwhelmed.

Qianyu founder Zhan Nanxian is still on a business trip, but as his closest exclusive secretary, all emails between him and his senior employees will be copied to her without exception, so that she can understand, follow up and handle the various instructions he issued to the world.

When she first took over, she was confused by every email and had to ask Yang Ying for advice or take the initiative to call the person in charge of the relevant department to find out the ins and outs, and then carefully understand the current situation and follow-up arrangements.

Asset management, financial services and information technology are Qianyu's three core businesses. Since Zhan Nanxian shifted the focus of asset management and financial services to the United States half a year ago and appointed his best friend who has worked side by side with him since the founding of Qianyu as general manager, power has been gradually decentralized.

The reason why Yang Ying was transferred there this time is because she is most familiar with these two aspects of work.

As a result, the business that Zhan Nanxian personally managed in the local area shifted to information technology. When some mid-level employees who did not need to report to him before also started writing e-mails, some of them even Yang Ying didn't know what was going on. Therefore, in order to sort out the heavy workload one by one, Wen Nuan worked overtime alone on the 66th floor every day until late at night before leaving.

When I feel tired, I take a cup of water into the meeting room and quietly look out at the square.

Qianyu Building was completed three years ago and is located in the most prosperous commercial area. The two buildings, one main and one auxiliary, are 66 stories high each. The main building is purely for office use. The reception lobby that connects the upper and lower floors is extremely magnificent. The third and fourth floors are the company's history and product exhibition halls, and the fifth floor and above are office areas.

In addition to the ground passage between the main building and the annex, a large sky garden with green landscape on the fourth floor connects the two buildings.

The annex building includes a staff restaurant, cafe, gym, indoor swimming pool and various indoor courts, integrating catering, leisure and sports. The 15th to 60th floors are serviced apartments, provided to single senior executives or to solve the accommodation problems of employees on business trips. The floors above the 61st are not open to the public, and it is speculated that it is the president's private space.

As for Zhan Nanxian's rise to wealth, that is a real miracle.

When he was admitted to university at the age of 18, the Internet was just taking off in Asia. The extremely young man founded Qianyu Express with 2 million yuan of funds. Half a year later, he obtained a 5 million yuan venture capital. In the following years, the Internet was in full swing and Qianyu Express became a household name.

What no one expected was that before graduating from university, he suddenly sold the company for 300 million.

The most bizarre thing was that shortly after he sold his company, the internet bubble burst and 80 percent of Internet companies went bankrupt. It was rare for someone like him to escape unscathed at the peak of their career. Since then, the name Zhan Nanxian has become a legend in the industry.

While his former peers were still struggling to survive, he, a college graduate, had easily entered the field of asset management and financial services with large amounts of capital. His business not only includes a variety of investment channels such as corporate private equity funds, hedge fund of funds, real estate investment funds and closed-end funds, but also provides services including corporate mergers and acquisitions consulting, restructuring and reconstruction consulting.
