Chapter 363: Stunned and Intensive IPO Preparations
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. I can just try another one. If I can't be hired here, I can find another one!" Li Xiaofan laughed.
"You are still as careless as before!" Yang Feiyan looked at Li Xiaofan and said angrily.
Then, she asked curiously: "Xiaofan, what position are you applying for this time?"
Yang Feiyan felt a little strange. According to the notice posted on the talent market, the recruitment requirements of this Sino-foreign joint venture called "Shanghai Changjiang Science and Technology Investment Co., Ltd." are at least full-time undergraduate degree or above, and the requirement is a key university.
How come Li Xiaofan, a secondary school student, also came to apply for the job?
She was very curious, but she didn't say it out loud, for fear of hurting Li Xiaofan's self-esteem.
"See if there are any vacancies in their company, I'll come to apply for one..."
"Haha, it sounds like this company is opened by your family!" After hearing this, Yang Feiyan laughed.
Then, she asked, "Xiaofan, didn't your classmates say that you went to Singapore to work? When did you come back? Are you settled down and working in Shanghai now?"
"Not settled down in Shanghai yet, I may need to travel more between Singapore and Shanghai recently..."
Yang Feiyan suddenly felt that she and Li Xiaofan were not on the same channel.
"Feiyan, why did you apply for this investment company?" Li Xiaofan asked.
"To be honest, I was moved by the recruitment advertisement of this company. The recruitment advertisement said that they planned to invest in a domestic dedicated chip ASIC development and design center and other IT-related high-tech projects, which are more in line with my major. In addition, the salary offered by this company is very attractive, and it is also very close to the dormitory I am renting now. So, I came to sign up!"
While the two were talking, Wu Xiumei came down from upstairs. After seeing the two of them, she smiled at Li Xiaofan:
"Mr. Li, you just came back from playing ball, and you didn't even change your clothes, and you are interviewing directly in the living room?"
After hearing this, Yang Feiyan was surprised: What, Mr. Li? What do you mean?
Li Xiaofan said to Wu Xiumei: "Xiumei, you talk to Yang Feiyan first, I'll take a shower, change clothes and come over to talk with you guys!"
"Feiyan, wait for me for a while, I'll come back to find you later!"
After that, Li Xiaofan ran upstairs and disappeared.
Only Yang Feiyan was left stunned.
"Feiyan, come with me!"
Full of suspicion, Yang Feiyan followed Wu Xiumei into the reception room next to the living room and asked softly:
"Sister, the guy just now, do you call him Mr. Li?"
"Yes, Mr. Li is the boss of our company!"
Wu Xiumei's words shocked Yang Feiyan!
Is it true that Li Xiaofan is the boss of this company?
She confirmed: "The Li Xiaofan just now is the boss of your Shanghai Changjiang Technology Investment Co., Ltd."
"Yes, Mr. Li is the chairman of Shanghai Changjiang Investment Company and the boss of our Singapore Yifan Holdings Company!"
Wu Xiumei looked at Yang Feiyan in a daze and asked: "Are you familiar with our Mr. Li? It seems that you have known each other before from the way you chatted just now?"
Yang Feiyan came back to her senses and nodded: "Well, your Mr. Li is my junior high school classmate..."
"Ah, junior high school classmate, so in that case, you and my cousin Wu Xiuli are also classmates?"
"Yes, yes, Xiuli was the monitor and league secretary of our class at that time! Big sister, what do you call me? It turns out that the world is so small..."
...
When Li Xiaofan finished taking a shower and changed her clothes, Yang Feiyan and Wu Xiumei in the reception room were already chatting enthusiastically, and they both started to use Mingzhou dialect.
After seeing Li Xiaofan coming in, Yang Feiyan stood up with a blushing face and said respectfully:
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Li Xiaofan waved his hand and said: "Feiyan, sit down! Don't be like this, it's awkward, just call me Xiaofan as before. We are old classmates, be casual!"
At this time, Yang Feiyan has become reserved, especially after listening to Wu Xiumei's simple introduction. The old classmate in front of her is already a shareholder of the famous American Yahoo Company and the founder of Singapore Yifan Company, with a net worth of more than 200 million US dollars!
The key is that he may also be her future big boss...
After the workplace training, she can never go back to the innocent days of sixteen years old.
Wu Xiumei smiled and said, "Mr. Li, do we need to continue the interview?"
"Feiyan, then it's settled. You come to work at Shanghai Changjiang Technology Investment Co., Ltd. I can be an investment assistant, okay? I may have to travel between Singapore, the United States and China. I need a capable and trustworthy assistant in Shanghai. I think your old classmate, a top student from Jiaotong University, is the most suitable candidate. What do you think?"
Yang Feiyan bit her lip and said, "Okay, thank you for your trust. I'll give it a try. However, I'm an outsider in investment..."
"It's okay. Once you get used to it, you'll get used to it. Venture capital is still a new thing in our country. Feiyan, I will arrange for you newcomers to go to big companies such as Morgan Stanley, Draper Fisher Jurvetson in the United States and Softbank Group in Japan for training in due course. You have already won at the starting line by joining our company!" Li Xiaofan smiled.
After hearing this, Yang Feiyan said happily, "You can still go abroad? Great!"
In those days, going abroad was still a very difficult thing.
Li Xiaofan laughed: "Haha, I'm afraid you'll complain about why you always have to go abroad!"
...
After taking care of the Shanghai company's affairs, Li Xiaofan flew back to Singapore.
The latest preparations for Pacific Online Bookstore to be listed on Nasdaq are already in full swing.
Li Xiaofan and others have signed a formal entrustment contract with the lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley of the United States. In addition, intermediaries such as law firms and accounting firms in Singapore and the United States have also been confirmed.
Recently, a team of American lawyers and accountants appointed by the lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley, has stationed in Singapore Yifan Technology Company to conduct due diligence.
