PricewaterhouseCoopers Accounting Firm, reception desk receptionist Yuan Xiaoyao had just checked in to work.

This job is hard-won. Every day she will arrive at work fifteen minutes in advance, sort out the front desk letters, and prepare for the day's work.

Although she is just a small front desk, her salary in the Magic City is enough to beat some white-collar workers in ordinary companies.

So she would sort out the letters as soon as possible every day, and immediately hand the letters to all the leaders when the unit leaders stepped into the office.

I just arrived at the office today. Just as I was about to check the letter, I saw two young boys and girls who looked like students coming to the door.

Yuan Xiaoyao was very surprised. She met all kinds of people for more than half a year at work, but she had never seen such a young client come to her house. Out of her professionalism, she still patiently welcomed her: "Hello, do you two have any appointments in advance?"

"Sorry, we came in a hurry and had never made an appointment. Which partner in your firm has time? Can you help arrange it?" Lu Ze replied embarrassedly.

Yuan Xiaoyao said with a look of embarrassment: "Sorry, sir, every partner in our firm has a lot of time. If you don't make an appointment in advance, it will be difficult to arrange it.

I would like to ask what business you want to consult? I can make an appointment with a manager to do an early consultation with you. Do you think this is OK?"

"The manager can't handle my business, at least the level of a partner." Lu Ze continued to explain.

The manager level is not impossible to receive him, but Lu Ze has limited time and is too lazy to have another process. In the end, he still has to find a partner to handle what he wants to do.

Seeing Lu Ze's extraordinary persistence, Yuan Xiaoyao had a headache. The partner level was not something she could make a reservation directly. She needed to submit an application and the partner's assistant would arrange the time before it could be finalized.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she saw someone walking in. It was Wei Zhe, the new partner of the firm.

Yuan Xiaoyao was busy saying hello: "Mr. Wei, good morning. These two guests did not make an appointment in advance, but insisted on consulting directly with the firm's partners. Me, I..."

She had never dealt with this situation, so she put her hope on this young partner. The veteran partner is very busy with business, and only he is a little empty.

"What's wrong with you? All the established standard work processes are handled in accordance with the rules and regulations." Wei Zhe glanced at Lu Ze and Lin Youyou. Seeing that they were young and didn't take it seriously, he turned his head and walked inside.

Among the partners at PwC, he is younger, but he is not a cat or dog that can be seen at any time.

Yuan Xiaoyao was scolded and felt very wronged. She just wanted to do her job well.

She smiled awkwardly at Lu Ze and the others: "You two have seen it too. It's not that I don't help making an appointment, but it's really the workflow of the business. To meet a partner, you have to make an appointment in advance."

"It's okay, it's not your fault." Lu Ze looked indifferent.

He recognized that guy just now at a glance and was also a legendary figure.

Wei Zhe won the internship opportunity of Wanguo Securities shortly after graduation. After working for less than two months, he was attracted by the "Godfather of China Securities" Guan Jinsheng and became the CEO assistant of Donghai Wanguo Securities Company (the largest investment bank in China).

Guan Jinsheng was very strict with his subordinates. Before Wei Zhe, his secretary rarely worked for a year, but Wei Zhe turned his secretary into deputy general manager.

Not long after, he was promoted to the deputy general manager of the Asset Management Headquarters and became the youngest vice president in the domestic securities industry at that time. That year, he was 24 years old and was successful in his youth.

Unfortunately, in February 1995, the 327 treasury bond incident that shocked the industry broke out. Guan Jinsheng failed to short-sell and was sent to prison, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.

After that, Wei Zhe began the second legend of his life.

He tried his best to enter PwC and was soon sent to the British Empire headquarters for two years.

There, he took the initiative to ask for a pure British M&A business, and quickly made a breakthrough, was promoted to senior manager of the acquisition and merger department, and became one of the youngest partners in PwC's history.

Then, he began his job-changing career like a cheat.

General Manager of the Investment Bank Headquarters of Oriental Securities, CEO of B&B (China) Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Chief Representative of Cuifeng Group Asia Procurement Center China, etc.

What he is most known to the public is that he became Lao Ma’s successor in 2006, took over Alibaba Group, and successfully led Alibaba (B2B company) to list in Xiangjiang during his term.

Even though it is only 1999 now, Wei Zhe, who just returned to China, is young and promising, and is proud. It is normal for him to be a little arrogant when he wants to do something big.

Lu Ze didn't take his ignorance to him at all. If he really wanted to receive him patiently, Lu Ze would have a headache because this guy has a bad reputation.

It was during his term that the Alibaba Group had serious corruption, counterfeit goods were rampant, and it was difficult to recover.

The reason why Alibaba was in trouble later was far inferior to Amazon's development was because it was greedy for immediate interests at the beginning and formulated a strategy of eagerness for quick success and instant benefits.

However, inferior corporate culture has taken shape, counterfeit goods are rampant, and the platform trend of brushing orders and data is difficult to reverse, so that Alibaba Group was forced to forcibly reverse the situation after its listing in the United States, but it made itself unfamiliar.

Until Lu Ze was reborn, he was unable to turn the world back. Wei Zhe was "indestructible" in his early stages. It can be said that he was successful, Xiao He failed, and Xiao He.

You can't go wrong from the beginning, otherwise it will be difficult to turn around. This is what you mean.

Wei Zhe ignored him, and Lu Ze was happy to see this situation, so as not to cause trouble for no reason.

Just as Lu Ze was planning to make an appointment with other partners in the front desk Yuan Xiaoyao, a workplace beauty who was about 30 years old and had a very elegant temperament came in.

Although she is not pretty, her neat and capable professionalism adds a lot of attractiveness to her.

The front desk girl Yuan Xiaoyao quickly greeted: "Mr. Zhang, good morning."

"Good morning!" The other party responded politely to the girl at the front desk, and nodded to Lu Ze and Lin Youyou. The friendly attitude formed a sharp contrast with the arrogant Wei Zhe in front.

The visitor Lu Ze actually met her. Her name is Zhang Qin. She met her in her previous life. At an entrepreneurial summit forum, the two of them served as guest speakers on the same stage.

This person is low-key and has no reputation for the outside world, but he is a real industry elite.

Zhang Qin, who has obtained a Master of Economics from Illinois State University in the United States and a certified public accountant in the United States. Since 1993, he has joined the PwC's Silicon Valley Office in the United States.

It was not until 2000 that she would move all her career back to China and join PricewaterhouseCoopers China, mainly providing audit services to American listed companies.

After returning to China, she successfully completed listing audits and other related work for Netcom, Zhongxing Microelectronics, Perfect World, 58.com and Jumei.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ze was deeply surprised to meet this financial master here.

It is only 1999 now, and Lu Ze probably came to check in advance to prepare for moving her career back to China next year.

Zhang Qin is a certified public accountant in the United States. She has worked in Silicon Valley for many years. She has accumulated strong experience and connections, and it is perfect for her to do what she wants to do.

I was originally thinking about entrusting other PwC partners, but now I see her here, why should I pretend to be someone else?

Seeing that the other party was about to walk towards the office, Lu Ze quickly spoke out and stopped him: "Hello, Mr. Zhang! I have an overseas investment business that I want to entrust to you. Can I talk to you for a few words?"

"You?" Zhang Qin looked at Lu Ze, feeling in disbelief.

Such a young boy is probably still a student in the country, so how could he do overseas investment business?

Lu Ze hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhang, I am not talking nonsense, I really have a business to cooperate with. If I don't mind, can I give me some time and discuss it in detail in private?"

"Okay, then you and I will come to the office." Zhang Qin took Lu Ze and Lin Youyou to her temporary office in the Demon City.

She has not completely changed her career yet, and she is only temporarily returning to China for inspection for a while. When she sees the domestic economic development about to take off next year, she makes the final decision to completely move her career back to China.

After sitting down at the office and asking the temporary assistant to pour two glasses of water for Lu Ze and Lin Youyou, Zhang Qin began to look at the two young people in front of him.

Lu Ze is ordinary in appearance and thin in figure, but Lin Youyou next to him makes Zhang Qin's eyes shine. Even though she is knowledgeable, she is still amazed at the appearance of this short-haired girl.

Zhang Qin took out a notebook and prepared to start recording, without any neglecting because of Lu Ze's youth. This is all due to her professional qualities in the past years.

Zhang Qinxian asked: "What do you call you? What business do you want to cooperate with?"

"My name is Lu Ze. I want to entrust you to serve as a financial consultant and audit consultant to help me complete an overseas investment business." Seeing that the other party was formal in dealing with it, Lu Ze answered without any hesitation.

When Zhang Qin heard this, he wondered: "Mr. Lu, you knew me before? Why did you come to me for this investment business?"

"To be honest, I can't make an appointment with other partners. I just saw the front desk saying hello to you. I guess you are also a partner of the firm, so I spoke out to get it." How could Lu Ze say nonsense and reveal what he knew about his previous life?

Zhang Qin was amused and crying, but he didn't expect that Lu Ze called her to stop her.

But she was not angry and continued to work: "Mr. Lu, I don't know what kind of investment business it is, can I briefly explain it?"

"I want to invest in a startup in the United States. I can't disclose what kind of company it is.

I hope that we will sign a confidentiality agreement, and then we will need to find a professional lawyer who is proficient in investment and mergers and acquisitions to participate, and then entrust this investment business to you.

It's important, I hope you understand.

In addition to this merger and acquisition, I also hope to hire you as our company's financial consultant to be responsible for the company's investment business audit for a long time." Lu Ze did not answer directly, but just gave a rough answer.

It’s not that he pretends to be mysterious, but that this matter is indeed of great importance.

The startup he wants to invest in is the famous Google company.

The whole thing is not as easy as I imagined. Once I miss the opportunity, Lu Ze will definitely regret it. This investment business is the top priority of his trip to the Magic City, and it is even more critical than participating in an essay competition.

As long as he can successfully invest in Google, he can extend his first tentacle to the United States' high-tech and information industry and draw the most important goal for his future business blueprint.
