Chapter 6, the cat that smells of fish

Miss Jiang relaxed her facial muscles, glanced at Wang Cheng, and teased, "Forget everything after the exam, but it seems you haven't forgotten for long... The term 'capital' appearing here means that it is neither a joint-stock company nor a trading company; it is a capital operation enterprise—what it sells is the company itself.

Sauron, seemingly the name of the Dark Lord in the novel "The Lord of the Rings"... However, the other party's name is not opposed by Wang Chengdu; as long as the payment is made, it is fine. Yet, the last two characters on the sign puzzled him. Unable to contain his curiosity, he quietly asked Miss Jian: "Capital? What does this mean? Is it a joint-stock company or a trading firm? This sign does not seem to be in English"

"Hey, hey, hey, you've crossed the line," Boss Yang Yuxiang said, tapping the table to remind everyone: "It's acceptable to poach from others, and I encourage and support that, but within this company, we do not tolerate such behavior. The customers that one engages with first belong to them; do not disrupt the established rules."

Miss Jian spoke with great conviction... As an employee earning the same salary, Wang Cheng naturally supported Miss Jian's stance; people strive for better opportunities, and if there are prospects for development, it is certainly worth considering a job change... However, Miss Jian's actions must have left her former boss feeling uncomfortable... But this had nothing to do with Wang Cheng and the books. After finishing his conversation with Miss Jian, Wang Cheng left her and began to skillfully install the machinery and equipment.

On the second day, Wang Cheng was extremely busy gathering the equipment, hurrying to deliver it to Tor Company. He noticed that Tor was moving quickly; in just one day, the newly rented office had already put up a sign. However, the sign was composed entirely of letter abbreviations, and it was made very exquisitely, clearly indicating that it was not an ordinary company

As soon as Wang Cheng arrived at the company to report, Wu Yin became furious upon hearing the details of the transaction: "You fool, you should have quoted a price first to stabilize him, and then used the excuse of increasing the configuration to modify the price—these days, salespeople are everywhere. If you didn't give him a price at that moment, just watch, tonight, salespeople all over China will flock to Tor... Where is it? Give me the address, I will go over and handle it, we must not let the fish slip off the hook"

Both individuals are conversing in a foreign language. Miss Jian speaks very quickly, and during the conversation, she seems to use more than two languages, frequently pointing at herself. From her gestures, if she were to add a motion of handing over a resume, it would resemble a typical job application process.

After speaking, Yang Yuxiang kindly patted Wang Cheng's shoulder: "No matter what it is, high-end products have substantial profits. Those foreigners want the best products, haha, perhaps the profit from selling a household machine at our counter for a month is not even comparable to what you can earn from this deal... Hurry up, did you hear what A Yin said just now? Quickly keep an eye on that foreigner, make sure not to miss this important opportunity... Chengzi, this time you have encountered a big fish, make sure to hold on tight, don't let go!"... Hurry up, did you hear what A Yin said just now? Quickly keep an eye on that foreigner, make sure not to miss this important opportunity... Chengzi, this time you have encountered a big fish, make sure to hold on tight, don't let go!

This explanation left Wang Cheng quite puzzled. Miss Xia paused briefly and then added: "It is something similar to venture capital. It cannot be classified as a fund; referring to it as 'capital' implies that it does not publicly raise funds. Most of it is independently controlled by individuals, primarily engaging in activities such as acquisitions and mergers. Such institutions are prevalent on Wall Street."

As for the verification method, it involves running a large-scale game

Miss Jian nodded confidently: "Foreigners do not speak with so many twists and turns; success is success, and failure is failure. If he wanted to reject me, he would have said so outright just now. Since he did not refuse but instead inquired about my experiences, there is an 80% chance of success. The remaining 20% depends on my personal performance. You have been installing equipment at Soren Capital these past few days; please keep an eye on their movements for me. I will order a phone for you right away, and you can pick it up after work at www.hetushu.com. Don't forget to inform me of any new developments!"

Miss Jiang glanced at Thor, who was on the phone, and whispered, "You have no idea, the salaries offered by capital institutions that buy and sell companies like this are absolutely satisfying... Just don't tell my former company about this, and I'll send you an iPhone as a gift later."

Miss Jian smiled lightly and said, "What is there to be embarrassed about? I received a salary and worked diligently, which justifies that pay. If I terminate my employment, does that mean I can no longer seek another job? There are no specific legal prohibitions regarding where I can work next. Moreover, this 'Soren Capital' does not overlap with the original company's business, so there is even less of a connection."

Miss Jian heard a noise, stepped out of her company, and stood at the door reading the sign: "... ... Soren Capital"

Mr. Tor called the busy Wang Cheng and introduced the Asian man who had just entered, saying: "I am getting old, and my hands and feet are not as nimble as they used to be. This young man will engage you in a competitive game to test the machine's response speed. You know, companies like ours prioritize speed; a delay of just one second could result in losses of hundreds of millions. Therefore, we require the response speed of the machine to be sufficiently fast..." You know, companies like ours prioritize speed; a delay of just one second could result in losses of hundreds of millions. Therefore, we require the response speed of the machine to be sufficiently fast..."

Miss Jian nodded slightly, and then her delicate hands, which had not known hard work, reached out. Those well-maintained hands, adorned with high-end nail polish, surprisingly helped Wang Cheng lift the equipment, leaving him inexplicably excited. However, after bringing the equipment inside, Miss Jian immediately abandoned Wang Cheng and began to converse politely with Thor.

Miss Jian cast a sidelong glance at Wang Cheng and said, "This is French"

Wang Cheng hurriedly praised, "Manager Jian actually understands French, what a remarkable person, even taller than this building. You truly know so much! I forget my English as soon as I finish the exam, and now I can only distinguish commonly used words... By the way, you must know what this sign means?"

During the conversation between the two, Tor received a phone call and temporarily stepped away for a moment. Wang Cheng quickly leaned closer to Miss Jian and whispered, "Is Manager Jian recommending herself?"

Miss Jian remained silent, and Wang Cheng chuckled: "Ahaha, didn't your previous company just expand its operations? The office equipment was only installed yesterday. Why are you already thinking about switching jobs?"

After being spoken to in that manner, Wang Cheng felt quite anxious. He hurried back to the building, and sure enough, there was a large crowd of salespeople gathered at the entrance of the new office rented by Mr. Thor. Fortunately, when luck comes, nothing can stand in its way. Although Wu Yin's speculation was correct, Mr. Thor immediately dismissed the relentless sales pitches from those salespeople and insisted on choosing Wang Cheng—though he had one additional request: he required Wang Cheng to be responsible for the installation, debugging, and verification of the computer's operational performance.

Wang Cheng admired Miss Jian's shrewdness, but he still kindly reminded her: "It's door to door, don't be too impulsive. If you switch to this company, will it not be awkward for both of you when you run into former colleagues during your commutes?"

Wang Cheng suddenly realized: "I understand now, what everyone is doing is similar to venture capital. If funds are raised from the public, it is called 'fund.' If it is independent holding, it is called 'capital'... Oh, I have gained knowledge."

Wang Cheng looked at Miss Jian with a mix of skepticism and curiosity, tentatively saying: "It seems you are close to success? Otherwise, you wouldn't be giving me such an expensive gift. Is this a seal of silence? I'm just a minor character, not in need of something so valuable... Your courtesy makes me feel quite embarrassed..."

Before long, an Asian mixed-race man walked into the company. He greeted Thor and stood with his arms crossed, watching Wang Cheng install. Soon after, Thor finished his call and called Miss Jian aside to talk for a few moments. Miss Jian left with an excited expression. After that, only three men remained in the room
