China World Trade Center office building, Linna Clothing headquarters.
After finishing her urgent work, Nana looked at her phone. There was still a quarter of an hour before the end of get off work, but she packed up her things in a hurry and said to the company's operations director Li Mengning: "Mr. Li, I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll leave the rest to you."
Although Ding Lina is the female boss of the company and has a lot of freedom in her schedule, she rarely leaves early.
Seeing her happy face, Li Mengning couldn't help but ask curiously: "Boss Ding seems very happy today, is there something good?"
"Haha, yes, there is a very important person waiting for me at home. So, see you tomorrow!"
Someone very important
Could it be President Su
Li Mengning murmured in his heart.
She could more or less make out some clues about the relationship between Ding Lina and Su Zelin. Of course, it was not appropriate for her to gossip too much about such private matters between the bosses, so Li Mengning wisely chose to pretend to be confused.
The home and the company headquarters are in the same building, and Ding Lina opened the door a few minutes later.
I saw Su Zelin and Luo Xi chatting in the living room.
In order to welcome the class beauty, Su Zelin did not return to the company in the afternoon. Besides, he had to have a dinner party with his college classmates in Lin'an later.
"Ah Xi, I miss you so much!"
The joy of reuniting with her best friend after a long separation instantly filled Nanako's heart. Her shoes fell off her feet and she didn't even have time to change into slippers. She quickly walked over and gave her best friend a big hug.
"Nanako, I missed you too, and thank you for your teddy bear!"
Luo Xi's smile is as beautiful as a flower.
After graduation, the two sides kept in touch frequently, both by phone and QQ, but the number of times they met was very few.
Looking at the two women hugging each other tightly, the gangster felt like he had become a hundred watts.
Otherwise you two can be together...
Axi and Nanazi are a strange pair of best friends. You say they are good sisters, but sometimes they are just fake. But when you say they are just fake, sometimes their relationship is surprisingly good.
After a while, he couldn't help but cough dryly, and Nanazi and Luo Xi separated.
"I'm sorry, Ah Xi and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so I lost my composure a bit!"
Ding Lina straightened her clothes and thought to herself that Axi seemed to have grown up. Could it be that she has a boyfriend in Shenghai
Luo Xi stroked her hair and thought to herself that Nanazi has grown up again. Are all girls who are nourished by men like this
In addition to the teddy bear, Ding Lina also prepared a second gift for her bestie, a few new sets of clothes, including products from her own Chaozu brand and other brands.
After all, trendy brands are very niche and not suitable for all occasions. Nanazi is a fashion addict. She has a room in her home that is a dedicated dressing room. She always buys new models of her favorite brands when she sees them.
There was a class reunion in the evening, and Nanazi and Luo Xi each took a new set of clothes into the bathroom to wash them.
Although the weather is cold, people in Zhejiang Province and Suzhou are accustomed to taking a bath every day, but this is not the case in Qi and Lu.
When she first entered college, Nanazi usually took a bath every other day in winter. She said that she was diligent and clean. The frequency of bathing in winter was already very high. Many people in Qilu took a bath every few days, and it was normal to take a bath once a week.
But later, influenced by my best friend and after spending more time in Lin'an, I realized that no matter how cold it is here, it's not that cold, so I developed the habit of taking a shower every day in winter.
This is also a difference in customs between the north and the south, which is particularly evident in Feng Zhongliang, the head of Room 302.
Lao Feng is known for his hard work, like a tireless old cow, but he is a bit lazy when it comes to taking a bath, or he feels it is unnecessary.
During the winter of his freshman year, Feng Zhongliang was surprised to see that his roommates took a shower every day. Su Zelin, who loved sports, especially took a shower once in the morning and once in the evening. In his eyes, he was no different from a freak.
Of course, Old Feng, who takes a bath once a week, is also a freak in the eyes of southerners.
However, Feng Zhongliang claimed that this is the norm in Heijiang. Not to mention washing once a week, washing once every ten days or once every half a month is normal.
Taking a bath there in winter is not as convenient as in the south. University dormitories in the south have hot water, but universities in Heijiang can only take baths in bathhouses, and there are even flow restrictions. Each person can only take a bath a few times per month. No matter how clean you like, there is nothing you can do but follow the local customs.
After taking a shower, the two girls dressed up beautifully. As it was about the same time, they went out together.
The venue for this gathering was chosen to be Pinwei Ju.
The restaurant opened by Zhang Yuanhang is quite unique, the food tastes good, and you can often eat rare delicacies. Recently, the private room service was upgraded, and KTV was installed in several large private rooms, so you can sing K after dinner.
If he was drunk, Zhang Yuanhang would sensibly ask his younger brother to help drive without him saying anything, so Su Zelin became a frequent visitor here.
However, as soon as Nanazi entered the hotel lobby and saw Master Zhang from afar, her eyebrows furrowed. It was not until she entered the private room that she lowered her voice and asked in confusion, "That guy has a bad drinking habit, why do you like to be friends with him?"
Given Su Zelin's personality and status, he should have disdained to associate with him.
"In fact, Zhang Yuanhang didn't have a problem with his drinking. He just had an argument with his girlfriend that day and was in a bad mood. He drank a few glasses and lost his composure. He apologized to me the next day after he sobered up."
The gangster found a random excuse to clear Mr. Zhang's name. After all, he was the one who asked the other party to play the villain.
"No matter how bad my mood is, I will never be so rude at the table!"
Nanako snorted proudly.
"It's different. Not everyone is a female warrior like you. I have to bow down to you."
Su Zelin laughed.
Nanako benefited greatly from it.
If there is one thing I am better at than my boyfriend, it is my drinking capacity.
Zhang Yuanhang noticed Nanazi beside Su Zelin. He originally planned to receive her in person, but he suddenly became timid and did not dare to come over.
He had a very clear memory of that night when Nanazi forced him to drink two bowls of white wine.
Seeing this, Su Zelin asked the two women to go to the box first. After they left, Master Zhang appeared beside him and said with a bitter face: "Boss Su, your girlfriend misunderstood me. I think she has a very bad impression of me."
"What girlfriend? She's my college classmate and partner!"
The bastard had a stern face.
His relationship with Nanako must not be acknowledged to the public.
I am afraid that one day I will become famous and my romantic affairs will be dug up, which will not only damage the reputation of New Century, but also the reputation of Nanazi and the Chao clan.
Even if Qin Shiqing can accept Nanazi, it will be difficult to deal with her parents and the Qin family.
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I spoke without thinking."
Realizing that he had offended the dragon, Zhang Yuanhang slapped himself in the face.
Su Zelin's expression softened. "At this year's annual meeting, New Century will select a number of model franchise stores. The number is small, and each province will only have three places."
Zhang Yuanhang's eyes lit up instantly: "Boss Su, do you mean my store has a share?"
"The selection will be based on the principle of fairness and justice, taking into account various factors such as sales, management, team and reputation, and selecting from the best franchise stores without any partiality!"
The gangster said seriously.
Master Zhang understood what he meant.
People like Su Zelin are very artistic in their way of speaking, just like those senior leaders of provinces and cities. For some things, they will always only say 50% and keep 50%, and will not explain it clearly, leaving you to understand it yourself.
For a demonstration franchise store, relative to his power, it only takes a word.
If his franchise store was not on the list, he would never mention the related topic at this time.
Zhang Yuanhang was delighted.
Playing the bad guy really pays off.
He now relies on New World for his livelihood, and a demonstration franchise store is a great honor, enough to make him proud.
Su Zelin had long understood Mr. Zhang's character. He was a very face-conscious person.
Just give him a little sweetness in this regard.
This practice is like New Century crying out to provincial and municipal governments from time to time. Even if the provincial and municipal governments cannot provide substantial benefits, they will still give the company an award.
The government got a boost without spending any money, and the company gained fame, so everyone is happy.
Some small businesses in particular like this and regard it as an honor.
Su Zelin took the same approach.
"Thank you, Mr. Su!"
Mr. Zhang, who originally had a bitter face, suddenly became cheerful.
There are only three demonstration flagship stores in the whole province, which is a very prestigious thing.
In comparison, I only lost a little face that night, and I wouldn't have much interaction with that group of people in normal times, so it doesn't matter.
There were only Luo Xi and Nanazi in the box. The other classmates had not arrived yet. The two were chatting about the financial company that Axi was about to start.
"Ah Xi, how do you plan to develop the business of your financial company?"
Nanako asked with concern.
"The business scope of financial companies is very broad. The most common ones are basic financial and tax work such as agency business registration, bookkeeping, and tax filing. They do not need high-end financial personnel. As long as they have some basic financial and tax knowledge, they can do the job. Currently, the vast majority of financial companies on the market are of this type."
Luo Xi had a background in financial management, and the foreign company she worked for before was also in finance, so she knew a lot about this.
"There is another type of financial company that focuses on financial consulting, such as helping companies with internal control, account sorting, operating performance analysis, coordinating and communicating with audits, brokers and other intermediaries, and even planning corporate listings, etc. However, this requires higher requirements for company talent, and at the same time, they must have a certain degree of fame in order to gain the trust of companies."
Many companies have financial departments, but some small companies or shell companies have very little business, and the cost of hiring a full-time financial officer is even higher than entrusting the financial affairs to a financial company. Therefore, they would rather find a third party, which can save some money. And if you encounter troublesome tax issues, more professional financial officers can make things easier for you, but personal finance may not be able to do that.
Many small financial companies came into being as a result.
Even in some large companies, the professionalism of financial personnel has not kept up with the development of corporate strategies, and they often have to go to financial companies for consultation.
For example, in order to go public, a company must review its accounts for three years plus one period before securities firms, law firms, and auditors come in to see if there are any major accounting errors so that timely adjustments can be made. Secondly, it is also to understand whether the company's financial data can meet the financial indicator conditions for listing, etc.
The company's finance department does very little of these tasks and basically outsources them to financial consulting companies. This not only reduces the workload of the finance department, but also weighs the pros and cons to make the company's path to listing smoother.
However, financial companies that can provide consulting services to companies going public are usually large financial companies. Small financial companies don't have the ability to do so.
"My company has just been established and has no reputation in Lin'an. I can only start from the most basic level and take it step by step."
Luo Xi also has self-awareness.
She is confident in starting a business, but she has to take it one step at a time.
Nanako nodded slightly: "That's right, but you can ask the monitor for help. He has many ideas and may have some good ideas."
When she first started the Chaozu business, she had no confidence. She didn't expect that Su Zelin could make it happen so easily. Nanazi didn't even feel that success came too quickly or too smoothly.
"The boss is so busy, and he said he wouldn't be involved in the company's business too much. I feel embarrassed to trouble him."
"Hey, what's the trouble? What's your relationship? We are one family."
Anyway, Nanazi has never been polite to Su Zelin. Of course, after she became a wealthy woman, she stopped spending her boyfriend's money and would take the initiative to buy clothes, belts, wallets and other things for Su Zelin.
Luo Xi thought to herself, the boss treats you as her own, and I’m not her girlfriend, so how can I be treated so well
She changed her mind and went to Lin'an to start a company because she was worried that Su Zelin would not be able to take care of Shenghai.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open and Su Zelin walked in.
"Monitor, you came at the right time. Ah Xi and I were just talking about how to run her company!"
Since her best friend was too embarrassed to speak up, Nanazi simply lent her a helping hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Axi came to you from Shenghai, you have to help her well!"
"I know. After the new year, our company will have to borrow 5 billion from the bank. Ah Xi's company will be able to help us as an agent!"
The bastard said without even thinking.
"Five billion!"
Luo Xi took a breath of cold air.
Acting as an agent for bank loans to enterprises is of course one of the businesses of financial companies. However, how can a new and small financial company have such qualifications? If an enterprise needs to borrow 5 billion yuan, the company will not even look at you.
"That's right. Next year, New Century plans to expand into the town-level market. Our goal is to open a store in nearly 20,000 towns across the country. We will need 5 billion in funding."
Su Zelin spoke casually, as if he was just borrowing fifty yuan.
However, Luo Xi and even Nanazi were frightened.
After a while, the beauty stammered, "Monitor, this is 5 billion yuan. Will New Century really be willing to be the agent for our company?"
"If I say yes, then it must be yes!" Hunzi was confident and said calmly: "You said it yourself, this is our company, and I have a share in it!"
New Century was already very familiar with bank loans. Although the amount was large, the procedures were not troublesome and did not require any complicated review. Especially after the national strategy had achieved great success, the market valuation had soared rapidly. As long as Su Zelin made a phone call to the presidents of several major banks in Lin'an, the contract could be signed immediately.
Because the banks are aware that New Century is in excellent operating condition and can afford to repay the money. It only needs money for market expansion. It cannot be compared with those companies that are in financial crisis, and the risk assessment is extremely low.
Some time ago, Hunzi met a bank president at a dinner party. The other party took the initiative to ask when New Century would enter the town-level market and whether it would need money.
Therefore, getting a loan is just a purely formality and there is no need for a large financial company to help convince the bank; even the company’s own finances can complete it.
But this time, Hunzi plans to hand over the business to the financial company opened by Axi. With such a big client as New Century and a business involving 5 billion, Axi's company's reputation and status will naturally rise instantly.
This is not a big deal. Just tell Brother Yang and Kang Baohong and they will do you a favor.
"Of course, there's no agency fee, it's completely free, I think you have no objection, Ah Xi!"
The gangster added with a smile.
He can do favors for the class beauty, but he can't give her money.
Originally, New Century’s company finance department could handle the loan matters without spending any money. As a major shareholder, Su Zelin could not act recklessly and damage the company’s interests.
However, the fame this business brings to Luoxi Financial Company will be more important than the agency fee.
"It's okay, Boss, you can have me for free!"
The class beauty was so excited that she was a little incoherent.
Before his own company was even established, he had already booked his first business, a multi-billion dollar mega order!
This is the dreamland of many financial companies!
It feels like playing a game and skipping the novice village and going straight to the ultimate BOSS.
Although this ultimate BOSS will not drop equipment, it is enough to make the warrior reach the peak of his life.
Su Zelin added: "I will invite the presidents of several major banks in Lin'an, the provincial finance and securities department, and several senior leaders of the national and local taxation departments to have a meal together when I am free someday. I will let them get to know you, and any business problems in the future will be easier to solve."
Luo Xi: “!!!”
She naturally knew how important these connections were.
These are all departments that the financial company needs to contact for business negotiations, so personal connections are essential. If Su Zelin introduces me to the head of the department, that would be a quick success!
The class beauty was stunned.
I originally wanted to take one step at a time, but the boss's strength did not allow it. A gust of east wind directly sent me to the sky!
I really underestimated his power.
"Ah Xi, I told you, the monitor will definitely find a way, hehe."
Nanazi was no longer surprised by Su Zelin's methods, but the class beauty was still a little uncomfortable with it.
After a long while, Luo Xi came back to his senses: "Boss, do you have such a big say in New Century? You can make decisions on billions of loans at will, and you can also have dinner with the bosses of those units and departments at will!"
Su Zelin smiled without saying anything, his mind unfathomable.
If it were any other financial company, it would be extremely difficult to take on this business, but Ah Xi was lucky that she had her own strength.
When your level is high enough, many things that are extremely difficult will become easy.
When I first opened the first store of New Century, I had less than 200,000 yuan in hand, and the only person I knew was Vice President Dai, whom I met through tricks. I had to take things slow.
However, as his level has improved, he has money and connections, so naturally the starting point of Axi's financial company will not be too low.
If you take things slowly, Ah Xi will become an old aunt again in this life before she knows it.
Su Zelin urged, "In short, what you need to do is to open the company as soon as possible, find a better office building, and don't make the office too small, and hire a few more people. Money is not a problem, and you have to spend it. After all, this is a company that can take on billions of agency loan orders from New Century. If nothing unexpected happens, it will soon become famous and have a lot of business coming to it."
"Yes, Boss!"
Luo Xi was so excited.
This time I decided to go back to Lin'an to start a business. Maybe I can save myself ten years of hard work!
Although I am not the girlfriend of the gangster class monitor, he really treats me and Nanako equally.
During the conversation, other students opened their private rooms, which temporarily ended the topic.
The person who came in was Jello, Nanazi and Luo Xi’s college roommate, who also stayed in the provincial capital to work after graduation.
"Wow, Axi, long time no see, hug!"
Jelly also trotted over and hugged the class beauty, then smiled and said, "Oh, you've grown up. There must be handsome guys to take care of you in Shenghai."
This thing is a small car, and I drive it when I meet someone.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've never had a boyfriend, I'm innocent, I even had my first kiss!"
Luo Xi quickly clarified shyly.
Tsk, you can really lie with your eyes open.
Su Zelin was speechless.
If you still have your first kiss, then the person who kissed me forcefully at Shenghai Nightclub that night was a dog
"Really? I thought you would find a blond, blue-eyed foreigner boyfriend in a foreign company, and all the money would go to outsiders."
Jelly said with a grin.
"How is that possible? I still think the handsome guys in our country are more attractive to me."
Having said that, the class beauty secretly glanced at Su Zelin out of the corner of her eye.
"Since you've caught the eye of a handsome guy in China, it's been so long since you graduated, why don't you find one quickly? Ah Xi, let me tell you, if you succeed in starting your own business, your standards will be higher. I'm just afraid that you'll end up being an old aunt in the future!"
Luo Xi was a little overwhelmed and immediately turned the gun around.
"Don't talk about me, Jelly, aren't you the same?"
"Oh, don't say that. All the male colleagues in our unit are either old or ugly. None of them can compare to the monitor."
Jelly sighed.
"You're still thinking about finding someone like the boss, Jelly, you're dreaming!"
The class beauty rolled her eyes at him.
With my conditions, I won’t find another one like me.
"… "
More people arrived one after another, both men and women, and they were all very happy to see Luo Xi.
Although the class beauty's reputation and popularity in the Finance Management Class was not as high as Su Zelin's, she was still loved by everyone.
Everyone was present and had a lively meal together.
Then they turned on the KTV screen in the private room and heard ghosts howling.
During this time, Zhang Yuanhang came in for a while, mainly to toast Nanazi and apologize. Seeing his sincere attitude, Nanazi didn't say anything.
The party lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening, and Luo Xi's first class reunion after returning to Lin'an finally ended.
Zhang Yuanhang still asked his younger brother to drive for Su Zelin, first sending Nanazi and Luo Xi home, and then returning to the staff apartment at the New Century headquarters.
China Central Place, Room 1502.
That night, Luo Xi did not sleep in his own room, but slept in Nanazi's master bedroom.
After not seeing each other for so long, the two had countless things to talk about late into the night.
When they were in dormitory 501 in college, they often slept together at night in winter and there was no sense of incongruity.
"How about it, Ah Xi, you haven't regretted coming to Lin'an yet!"
"No, this is definitely one of the wisest choices I have ever made in my life. Lin'an is a very nice city. Here I have the boss's protection, and I have a good sister like you. I don't feel sorry at all for leaving Shenghai! But why did you arrange my guest room next to yours? What if the boss comes over?"
"Because that room is the biggest. It's okay. My house is well soundproofed. If there is any noise, just pretend you didn't hear anything. Haha!"
"Nanako, you're so mean. I have to consider buying a pair of earplugs!"
"… "
