As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 32 Lead Underwriter

"How come you have time to come to Gusu recently? I heard from dad that you are doing an internship in Yanjing?"

An unexpected visitor came to Li Miaomiao's home in Suzhou, her sister Li Shuyao.

Li Shuyao and Li Miaomiao are sisters. Li Shuyao is a few years older than her and is studying for a master's degree at the China Center for Economic Research (CCER) of Yenching University.

Li Xulin himself is a professor of biology, but neither of his two daughters wants to study biology.

In the early years, the children of professors at some 985 universities in China could study at their 985 universities as long as they passed the first-tier line. However, the policy has been tightened in recent years.

Li Shuyao naturally put her luggage in the guest room and fell on the sofa: "Don't mention it, your house is really cozy."

“I really like this decoration style.”

The housing prices in Suzhou are so high that even with Li Miaomiao's salary at Ke Chuang Bio, she still needs Li Xulin to sponsor her to pay the down payment.

"Dad is so partial. He bought you a house in Gusu but didn't buy me one in Yanjing."

Li Miaomiao said helplessly: "He didn't buy it for me, he just lent me money for the down payment. And he can't afford the house in Yanjing even if he wants to buy it for you."

Li Shuyao snorted coldly: "Why don't you ask Zheng Li for a loan when you buy a house in Gusu? With your relationship, Zheng Li will lend you as much as you want. You don't have to live in a simple three-bedroom and two-living-room house. You can buy a villa directly."

Li Shuyao and Li Miaomiao have had a good relationship since childhood, so Li Shuyao always says whatever she wants to say in front of her and will not hide her inner thoughts.

Li Miaomiao shook her head and said, "That's not necessary."

Li Shuyao: "You gave up your studies and traveled thousands of miles to Suzhou, a place you don't know, for him. What's wrong with borrowing some money to buy a house?"

Li Miaomiao: "What do you mean by for him? I gave up my studies because I saw this opportunity was rare, and now I'm picking up my studies again, right?"

Li Shuyao nodded and said, "That's right. After taking a year off from school, I participated in the start-up period of a company with a market value of 100 billion yuan, and I became the vice president directly. This is indeed a rare opportunity."

"You bet was right. If I had met a man like Zheng Li when I was in school, I wouldn't have to intern at CICC now."

"No wonder the ancients said that one's fate comes first, two's luck comes second, three's feng shui comes third, four's accumulating good deeds comes fifth, and five's studying. I can't compare to you in the first few, so I can only work hard on studying."

Li Miaomiao brewed a pot of Pu'er tea, poured it into a teacup and handed it to her: "Here."

"You haven't told me why you suddenly came to Gusu? You shouldn't be so free during your internship at CICC, right?"

Li Shuyao said helplessly: "Yes, I am interning at CICC now. Aren't you planning to go public recently?"

Li Miaomiao: "Yes, we are planning to go public soon."

Li Shuyao continued: "Science Biotechnology is a big fish. It has a simple equity structure and only two years of financial reports. Its turnover and profits are very impressive, and its financial data are beautiful. In addition, it has core technology."

“Not to mention that your company’s market capitalization is as high as 100 billion miyuan, making it the biggest fish in the underwriting market this year.”

"According to internal information from CICC, the CBRC expressed great welcome to the listing of Sinovation Biotechnology and welcomed Chinese local high-tech enterprises to be listed in China. Everyone speculated that the CBRC would give the green light to Sinovation Biotechnology's listing."

Li Miaomiao couldn't stand Li Shuyao talking for a long time without getting to the point: "Just get to the point."

Li Shuyao: "Simply put, CICC wants to become the lead underwriter for the listing of Sino-Tech Biotech on the Sci-Tech Innovation Board. Such a big fish is definitely not something that can be swallowed by a single securities firm. It must be jointly underwritten by multiple institutions."

"But CICC wants to be the lead underwriter. They know I'm your sister, so they brought me to Gusu, saying they want to follow your path to meet Zheng Li." "As long as CICC can become the lead underwriter of Kechuang Biotechnology in the end, I can stay in CICC's investment banking department directly after I graduate from graduate school."

With Li Shuyao's resume, she graduated from Jiangcheng University for undergraduate and Yanda CCER for graduate, so it is difficult but not impossible for her to get a job at CICC. However, it is almost impossible for her to get a job at CICC's investment banking department.

The investment banking department mainly deals with the primary market, just like supervision, helping developers build houses and then sell them on the market.

The investment banking department is a core department of a securities firm and is not accessible to ordinary people, let alone in today's increasingly inward-looking society.

Li Miaomiao: "I haven't seen Zheng Li for almost three months. He is in Lion City. Zhongjin will definitely not be able to see him if he wants to."

Li Shuyao: "You underestimate how much CICC values ​​this business. The head of the investment banking department said that as long as Zheng Li is willing to meet him, he is willing to personally lead the team to fly to Lion City."

"They are willing to take the risk of being quarantined for 14 days each way to meet Zheng Li, hahahahahaha."

Li Miaomiao asked: "Then I'll go and ask them for you? But I can't guarantee whether Zheng Li is willing to meet them."

Li Shuyao pulled Li Miaomiao over and rubbed her head: "No need."

"CICC thinks I've never seen the world? Only if I can handle this deal can I stay in the investment banking department?"

“Isn’t this funny?”

“The value of the two is far from matching.”

"You don't have to do anything in this. In the end, Zheng Li decides who will be the winner. Don't bring your own subjective color into it."

"The most important thing is whether you can stay with Zheng Li until the end. If you can stay with Zheng Li until the end, this is more important than anything else. If Zheng Li becomes my brother-in-law, CICC's investment banking department will beg me to join."

Li Miaomiao was speechless: "What are you talking about? Zheng Li and I are just ordinary friends."

Li Shuyao looked her straight in the eyes: "How dare you say that you are not interested in Zheng Li? If you are not interested in Zheng Li, then please help me pass on a message to Zheng Li."

Li Miaomiao dodged and said, "Just because I'm interested in him doesn't mean he's interested in me."

Li Shuyao: "You have to know that Zheng Li is a genius. He is already showing interest in you."

"Geniuses like Zheng Li, who published their first paper in Nature and whose first company was valued at 100 billion US dollars, live in a different world from others."

"From my perspective, Zheng Li's need for love must be extremely weak. Love is a part of life for normal people, but Zheng Li doesn't need such rich emotions at all. His need for love may not even be one tenth of that of ordinary people."

"Do you see any member of the opposite sex around Zheng Li who is closer to him than you are?"

Li Miaomiao suddenly realized: "No, sister, you are indeed a veteran in the love field, you are so accurate. But there is one thing, I think Zheng Li's need for love may be only one percent of that of ordinary people."

Li Shuyao: "So geniuses are not perfect in everything. When God opens a door for them, he will close a window. They must have flaws in some aspects."

"All you need to do is wait. You don't need to worry about CICC."

"The people at MD CICC are all cunning people. I'm sorry I couldn't help but say something sweary."
