Chapter 44 Venture Capital (2)
This Sophie is indeed Zhou Xiangjun who helped her rescue that day. Because of her busy work these days, she has gradually let go of the matter that day. Although she still remembers Chen Zhihua, the tide that arose at that time also faded a lot.
Unexpectedly, I would see Chen Zhihua at this time. Even if Sophie is rational, she couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'm so happy to see you again. That day... I forgot to ask you for contact information that day. I'm so embarrassed to thank you if I didn't get it well!" Zhou Xiangjun walked over and shook hands with Chen Zhihua. What echoed in his heart for a long time was a sentence that Liu Xiaoyu said that day: "Unless you are really destined to be together, God is destined to be together, otherwise how could it be found?"
"Hello, I'm very happy to see you too!" Chen Zhihua shook hands with the other party with a smile. The sudden reunion was really dramatic, but it really made people feel very surprised.
"Okay, let's introduce myself officially today. My name is Zhou Xiangjun, and my English name is Sophie. He is the chief investment consultant of Morgan Stanley China Group." Zhou Xiangjun thought about it and introduced himself to Chen Zhihua very formally, and at the same time handed Chen Zhihua a card.
Chen Zhihua took the business card and put it in his arms. At the same time, he took out his business card and sent a picture to everyone present, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Chen Zhihua, general manager of Shenzhen Shenhui Co., Ltd.."
"Hello, I am G.T, the department manager of the investment department." As a result, Chen Zhihua's business card, an older middle-aged man also came to shake hands with Chen Zhihua and exchanged business cards with Chen Zhihua at the same time.
Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Xiaoyu secretly walked to Zhou Xiangjun, touched her gently with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Is it him? That day..."
Zhou Xiangjun's mind was already strongly impacted by happiness at this time, and his eyes never left Chen Zhihua. He just nodded slightly, which was an answer to Liu Xiaoyu.
Seeing that she showed such a rare appearance, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't help but joke deliberately: "Sure enough, she is very handsome. She is rare to have a career at such a young age. It seems that our Xiangjun classmate's heart is about to fall!"
When Zhou Xiangjun heard Liu Xiaoyu's words, her face turned slightly red. She immediately glanced at her with anger. Liu Xiaoyu was also tactful and stopped talking. After all, this is in the company, so it would be bad if there was any news.
After meeting each other and meeting each other, the meeting officially began. After the investment department manager G.T. introduced Morgan Stanley China's investment plan this time, he looked at Chen Zhihua with a graceful look and said, "Mr. Chen, can you introduce us to the current situation of Shenhui Company? At the same time, we really hope to hear what plans you have for the development of Shenhui Company." After a slight pause, G.T. looked at the watch on his wrist again and said, "Mr. Chen, we will give you thirty minutes to introduce it, thank you."
Chen Zhihua knew it was his turn to perform, so he said thank you and prepared to start his speech. He simply flipped through the documents in his hand, sorted out his own ideas, and started talking.
"Our Shenhui Company was a cement factory..." Chen Zhihua briefly introduced Shenhui's history, introduced what Shenhui was basically like when he pushed Shenhui from Qi Ji's hand, and then talked about the achievements he achieved during this period of time with Shenhui's employees. "Shenhui Decoration definitely occupies the largest market in the entire Shenzhen city. Although the real estate department cannot be said to be the largest, our market share is growing. Shenhui Property Management Company now has a monthly profit of more than one million, and Shenhuiju has also exceeded one million profits according to the latest news I have received."
In the story, Chen Zhihua intentionally or unintentionally made his image taller, that is, according to Chen Wenqiang's instructions, let the people of Morgan Stanley feel their leadership charm. Although doing this seems a bit ostentatious, sometimes things must be like this. Moreover, Chen Zhihua's wording tries to make this meaning obscure, so in the eyes of everyone in Morgan Stanley, Chen Zhihua's leadership charm does give them a deep impression.
"In the next six months, I will focus on Shenhui's development on the real estate department, and will make Shenhui Real Estate the leader in the third-level real estate market in Shenzhen, and then expand business to several nearby cities..." Chen Zhihua talked about his idea in a very organized manner. His plan for future development happened to be the part that touched the other party, so he was also very passionate when speaking. Many inspirations that he had never thought of when preparing before suddenly ran into his mind one by one, making his plan more full.
Zhou Xiangjun listened to Chen Zhihua's speech below. At this time, she could be said to have been completely fascinated by Chen Zhihua's style. Chen Zhihua's eloquence and Chen Zhihua's management talent completely conquered this talented woman. What made her even more uncontrollable was that what Chen Zhihua said just now rescued Shenhui from the embarrassment of bankruptcy in just one year and achieved today's achievements made her deeply feel that the boy in front of her was really, very charming, which was a charm that others could not reach.
Some women like men to be gentle and considerate, some women like men to be rough and bold, some women like men to be humorous and interesting, and some women like men to be cold and straightforward... And Zhou Xiangjun likes the type of men she likes, which must be talented, more talented and talented than herself. Sometimes she can't even understand why her focus is so unique. However, for such a unique focus, Zhou Xiangjun has been unmoved by many boys who have been pursuing her for so many years... At this time, she began to think: "After waiting for so long, are you just waiting for him?" This kind of thought that only a little girl has instantly surged into her heart, making her heart beat faster no matter what she encounters.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to interrupt you!" While Chen Zhihua was speaking, G.T. suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Chen Zhihua. He stood up and smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your speech today. I am also very happy to tell you on behalf of Morgan Stanley that we have decided to cooperate with your Shenhui company."
"Oh?" Chen Zhihua was a little surprised.
In fact, everyone in Morgan Stanley was even more surprised because they had to give Chen Zhihua a thirty minutes to give him a speech, but now it's only just over ten minutes. G.T. has made such a decision, which is really surprising in normal times. Everyone here knows the origin of G.T. He is a senior investment consultant who has been working in the Morgan Stanley headquarters on Wall Street in the United States for many years. When Morgan Stanley entered the Asian market, he was ordered to come to Shanghai to serve as the investment manager of Morgan Stanley China. In fact, it is equivalent to mastering the investment direction of the entire Morgan Stanley China. He is a very important and experienced senior executive. It is precisely because of his special identity that it further shows that the young general manager of Shenhui Company has impressed G.T. with his performance, so their eyes towards Chen Zhihua have become more respectful.
"Yes, Mr. Chen Zhihua, you have already received our maximum investment of US$2.5 million." G.T. said to Chen Zhihua with a smile. He probably thought Chen Zhihua didn't react because he was too happy, so he added: "Mr. Chen, I am really looking forward to you and Shenhui Company now!"
It happened so much, and Zhou Xiangjun was also very happy for Chen Zhihua, but unexpectedly, under everyone's eyes, Chen Zhihua actually smiled slightly and said something even more surprising to G.T.: "Thank you for your praise. I am very happy to have Shenhui recognized you, but... I am not short of money. I came today to win greater support from Morgan Stanley!"
"Oh?" Everyone, including G.T., was slightly stunned. They could not have thought that Chen Zhihua would say so, but Zhou Xiangjun couldn't help but lit up his eyes, and a hint of haze appeared in his eyes.
"In fact, I should say that I am not short of this $2.5 million investment." Chen Zhihua paused slightly and continued to bring the topic to the development plan for the next half year. "In the next half year, what I want to do is to increase the branches of Shenhui Real Estate to 150, so that our sales outlets can be distributed to the Pearl River Delta and even the entire Guangdong Province..." Chen Zhihua continued to speak his plan with enthusiasm. His ups and downs and downs once again attracted the attention of Morgan Stanley. At this moment, not only was he immersed in his own thoughts, but even the others in the conference room were infected by him and nostalgic for that bright future.
After listening to Chen Zhihua's speech, G.T. After thinking for a few minutes, he asked Chen Zhihua: "Mr. Chen, I wonder how much money is needed to complete your plan?" He paused slightly, and he smiled and said, "Or in other words, how much support do you need to get from Morgan Stanley?"
Chen Zhihua had already knew the funds needed, so he smiled and said, "I have already estimated that it will cost at least 25 million US dollars."
"Two five million?" G.T. repeated the sentence with a serious expression, and the others in the conference room took a deep breath. Although they all thought Chen Zhihua's speech just now was very exciting, when he heard that he reported a number of ten times the original plan of 2.5 million US dollars, most people thought Chen Zhihua was talking big.
Facing all kinds of visions in front of him, he smiled and said, "If we Shenhui can get this $25 million investment, then Morgan Stanley will get 35% of Shenhui's shares. I can promise that if the plan is successful, Morgan Stanley will get more than five times the return if it doesn't take five years."
Chen Zhihua's words were shocking, but many people present thought that his words were really exaggerated. Not to mention that Morgan Stanley is only worth 35% of their shares, it would be impossible to say that it would allow Morgan Stanley to get more than five times the return... However, at this time, Chen Zhihua ignored others. He just looked at G.T. who was thinking seriously with confidence. He knew that his success was related to this middle-aged man who looked a little Mediterranean.
"Mr. Chen, it is undeniable that your speech is really shocking, but such a large investment amount has exceeded the upper limit of our plan. I regret to tell you that our plan may not be able to help you." A few minutes later, G.T. finally spoke. His words made Chen Zhihua feel a little frustrated on the spot. There seemed to be no hope for getting the investment.
"However, I am very impressed by Mr. Chen's plan..." But in less than a second, G.T. brought another twist that made Chen Zhihua suddenly happy: "If possible, please stay in Shanghai for a few days, and let me discuss it with the general manager and give you a specific reply, okay?"
Chen Zhihua was already very satisfied with this answer. The investment of 25 million US dollars is not a small amount, especially when investing in emerging companies like Shenhui, it does require some consideration. However, Chen Zhihua is very confident in his plan. You should know that since a long time ago, venture capitalists value plans and ideas in the minds of investors. Among countless legendary entrepreneurial stories, many young people directly knocked on the door of venture capitalists after graduating from college with one of their ideas, and then boldly and confidently spoke their ideas to them. While they are recognized, they will immediately receive huge investments, thus making many rich people who dominate Wall Street today.
Of course, there are many people who end up in failure, but venture capitalists want to make money from risks. As long as one or two of the ten investments they make can be rewarded, it will be successful.
After leaving Morgan Stanley China, Chen Zhihua felt a little relaxed and had tried his best. Now the only thing he could do was wait for news. After a change of thought, Chen Zhihua suddenly remembered Zhou Xiangjun, whom he met at the Morgan Stanley China headquarters just now. He couldn't help but feel that there might be no more coincidental in this world. In the vast sea of people, it is really incredible that two people can meet again in this way.
While thinking about this, Chen Zhihua unconsciously took out Zhou Xiangjun's business card and looked at it, quickly put it in his pocket, and then accelerated his pace toward the subway station...
In the evening, Chen Zhihua, who had been hesitating whether to call Zhou Xiangjun, received a call from Zhou Xiangjun. Chen Zhihua answered the call lightly. It turned out that Zhou Xiangjun wanted to invite Chen Zhihua out for dinner to thank him for his last attempt to rescue the situation. Of course, Chen Zhihua agreed readily to the invitation of the beauty. In fact, I don’t know if it was because of the feeling of “lost and gained”. Chen Zhihua also had the hope of seeing Zhou Xiangjun at this time.
The two met at a Western restaurant in Shanghai. This Western restaurant was decided by Zhou Xiangjun. The environment inside the restaurant is very elegant and is most suitable for three or two good friends to have a quiet meal and chat. When Chen Zhihua arrived, Zhou Xiangjun had been sitting in the seat and waiting for a long time.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Chen Zhihua sat down with a smile, "Why should I call you Zhou Xiangjun or Sophie now?"
"Call me Xiangjun, that's what my friends call me!" Zhou Xiangjun looked at Chen Zhihua and asked, "What about you?"
"You call me Andy Lau!"
"Thank you very much that day!" Zhou Xiangjun thought for a while and said.
"At present that day, you have said you have thanked me many times, and today I specially invited me to a meal. I want to say that your thanks are enough!" Chen Zhihua said humorously.
For some reason, Zhou Xiangjun felt that she seemed to be very relaxed when she was with this boy, so she covered her mouth and smiled and stopped saying these polite words.
In fact, Zhou Xiangjun didn't know that it was not that she would be particularly relaxed when she and Chen Zhihua were together, but because she had accepted the boy in front of her, her mentality changed and she would have lost so much restraint. Otherwise, if it were Liu Qibing who said this, Zhou Xiangjun would probably say that Liu Qibing was too frivolous and left immediately.
"Andy Lau, your speech today is really wonderful. I haven't seen someone as eloquent as you for a long time." The two of them ordered their own meals. Zhou Xiangjun thought about it and said with a smile: "Even our manager can be completely moved by you within ten minutes. It's the first time I've met him in Morgan Stanley for so long."
Chen Zhihua smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I can impress him is not my eloquence. More importantly, most of what I say is based on evidence. If he is a person who knows how to invest, he will definitely know the value contained in what I say."
