Coca-Cola stock
Jian Jianan regarded this stack of papers, which was his biggest gain tonight and also the culprit for him working overtime so late before going home, as a treasure.
Although Shan Jiqing didn't understand why his girlfriend was so happy, after hearing what Jian Jianan said, he still gave her a sincere smile.
"Oh, really? It seems our Nan Nan has gained a lot today."
Shan Jiqing said this as he slowly drove back to their apartment.
The two of them kept talking along the way. Jian Jianan was very excited at the beginning, trying to make Shan Jiqing understand how important this pile of information was and that she could make a breakthrough from it. However, the internship work was really tiring. As Shan Jiqing spoke, her voice gradually became softer. At the end, she fell silent and slumped in the chair.
Shan Jiqing did not panic, nor did he try to wake his girlfriend up. He just glanced sideways while waiting for the red light, and saw his girlfriend's peaceful sleeping face. He put his fingers on his nose and smiled softly. Then he helped Jian Nan hold the blanket tighter so that she could take a nap more comfortably and not feel cold in her dreams.
Just like that, when the car arrived at the apartment door, Shan Jiqing gently called out to Jian Jianan, "Nannan, Nannan, get up. We're home now. If you're really tired, go home and sleep. Sleeping in the car is never peaceful. Let's go home first."
Jian Jianan rubbed her eyes and finally woke up. She said, "Yes, yes, it's a waste of time to sleep in the car. I have to go back and organize these materials."
As she was speaking, she struggled to get up. Shan Jiqing, who was behind her, couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the car door and walked around to the other side of the passenger seat, helping Jian Jianan unbuckle her seat belt so that she could get out of the car smoothly.
After returning home, Jian Jianan regained her energy. She took a nap in the car to have a good rest. Now she is Jian Jianan with full energy again!
While Shan Jiqing was making supper, Jian Jianan concentrated on taking out the materials from her schoolbag. She sat on the carpet with the materials spread out all over the place, even filling up the entire living room. Shan Jiqing wanted to walk in, but there was no space for him to step in!
But seeing how engrossed Jian Nan was, Shan Jiqing couldn't bear to disturb her. Forget it, after Nan Nan was done with this, she could clean up tomorrow.
Jian Jianan was looking at the materials she had printed out. Since Ruth told her that she could take these materials home on special occasions, Jian Jianan must have taken them home. Steve asked her to print out all the materials tonight because they would need them in tomorrow's meeting.
Jian Jianan listened to the discussion of the people in front this afternoon and knew that tomorrow's meeting would decide which stock to buy. Five of the ten candidates had been eliminated, and everyone could only choose from the final five. Everyone had different opinions. These printed data could help everyone make a better decision on which stock to buy with a large investment.
It was also from this time that she truly realized the importance of data.
If a wrong decision is made accidentally, it will bring immeasurable losses to individuals or even companies. No one with a stake in Goldman Sachs wants to see this happen.
Since they attach so much importance to tomorrow's meeting, Jian Jianan also wants to make a name for himself in tomorrow's meeting.
Of course, now Jian Jianan just wants to familiarize herself with these data first, know what they represent, and then when others are in trouble tomorrow, she can immediately express her opinions, so that she can show her value.
But Jian Jianan didn't know how important these data tables would be tomorrow. She couldn't tell anything by looking at them; she needed tools to analyze them.
While watching, Jian Jianan used the computer to input their data into the table for analysis. After a while, many tables had been completed as time passed.
Half an hour later, Shan Jiqing came out to find Jian Jianan, carrying a bowl of pork trotters and ginger. He hated Jian Jianan staying up late. It was so harmful to the body! It also took a toll on the experience. Even a man of steel couldn't withstand the damage it brought.
But at the same time, Shan Jiqing also knew clearly that staying up late was a necessity for Jian Jianan now. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the Goldman Sachs internship group as soon as possible, if she wanted to get more information before others, she would have to spend more time and energy than others. Otherwise, this internship would be useless for Jian Jianan, and she would not let herself return empty-handed.
So for Jian Jianan, if his good wife Shan Jiqing doesn't stop him, she can only provide logistics and other support from the side.
Therefore, Shan Jiqing prepared a delicious midnight snack for Jian Jianan, hoping that this delicious midnight snack would provide her with sufficient comfort and abundant energy.
"Oh, thank you Xiaoqing!" Jian Jianan took the pork trotter with ginger in surprise, and immediately took it in his hand and took a few bites. This pork trotter with ginger is also a Cantonese delicacy with a long history, and the overall taste is sour and sweet.
Some people prefer sour taste, so the pork trotters they cook with ginger will also be sour, but some people prefer sweet taste, so the pork trotters they cook with ginger will also be sweet.
Jian Jianan prefers food with a moderate sweet and sour taste, so Shan Jiqing doesn't add a lot of sugar or vinegar when making pork trotters with ginger. He just makes the pork trotters with ginger taste moderate to suit Jian Jianan's taste.
Jian Jianan felt warm in his heart. It was already troublesome for him to get off work so late, but Shan Jiqing had been waiting for several hours. Moreover, Shan Jiqing had nowhere to go and could only sit in the car waiting. This was enough to make Jian Jianan feel guilty.
Now that he got home, he couldn't rest, but immediately went into the kitchen to make a midnight snack for Jian Jianan. Seeing such a family-friendly person, how could Jian Jianan not feel even more guilty!
Shan Jiqing could see it too: "Okay, what's with that expression on your face? We've already said we're boyfriend and girlfriend, so isn't it normal for us to take care of each other?"
Jian Jianan shook his head: "But I feel like you've always been the one taking care of me. I always make you worry so much."
Shan Jiqing denied it very seriously: "No, no, no, that's not what I said. I said that care is mutual, and that's it. Don't think that I'm taking care of you just because I do so much work now. But the spiritual support you give me can't be explained in just a few words. In my opinion, you take care of me more!"
Jian Jianan was silent. After falling in love with Shan Jiqing, she deeply understood that it was very unwise to care about who gave more and who gave less in a couple.
Therefore, even if Shan Jiqing had a different opinion from her, Jian Jianan would not argue too much. She smiled and accepted it, and decided to focus more on Shan Jiqing after she was done with this busy period.
Of course, timely thanks are necessary. No matter what, people should know how to be grateful. Jian Jianan can live such a life with everything provided for him, all thanks to Shan Jiqing!
After finishing a bowl of pork trotter with ginger, Shan Jiqing took her bowl and chopsticks to wash them. When she turned around, she was suddenly stopped by Jian Jianan.
"Xiao Qing! The clothes you prepare for me tomorrow should be more mature and capable. If I wear those clothes, people will think I'm not to be messed with!"
Shan Jiqing's eyes moved. It seemed that Jian Jianan was going to make a big move tomorrow? Otherwise, she wouldn't have made this request!
"Okay! I will definitely choose carefully for you, and I guarantee that others will think you are not someone to be trifled with when they see you!" Shan Jiqing promised. Just like that, Jian Jianan continued to work on his data, while Shan Jiqing said good night to his girlfriend after cleaning up the kitchen and went to his room to rest.
Although the two people's time pace is different, they both know clearly in their hearts that no matter what the situation is, their hearts are closely connected.
Once Jian Jianan got busy, she forgot the passage of time. After she pasted the data from the paper documents into the computer spreadsheet one by one, and then made a few graphs to allow her to see the relationship between these data more clearly, she let out a long sigh of relief, collapsed on the sofa with dull eyes and a blank mind.
I finally finished reading it all! Now, I just have to wait for tomorrow's meeting!
The next morning, Shan Jiqing got up at six o'clock. She knew that Jian Jianan had something important to do today, so she got up early and thought about what breakfast to make for her that could be finished in a short time and provide sufficient nutrition so that she would have enough physical strength to fight today's battle.
Unexpectedly, when Shan Jiqing opened the door, he saw Jian Jianan who had already been sitting on the sofa. The laptop was still on her knees, and the paper materials she had read yesterday were not put away and were scattered around her.
As soon as she saw Shan Jiqing coming out, she immediately turned around and smiled at her: "Xiaoqing, good morning!"
"Why did you get up so early today?" Shan Jiqing couldn't believe it. Could it be that you didn't sleep the whole night?
Jian Jianan touched her head embarrassedly. She had been concentrating on looking at the data until very late. As a result, her brain was very excited and she couldn't calm down at all. So Jian Jianan glanced at the time. Since it was already daybreak, she simply got up early.
The Jian Jianan that Shan Jiqing saw now was Jian Jianan who had already run a few laps downstairs and returned from his morning exercise.
Jian Jianan was in high spirits, looking very energetic. Shan Jiqing couldn't say anything more. She just sighed and said to Jian Jianan seriously, "This time, the situation is special. I know the difficulties you face at Goldman Sachs, so I won't say anything if you occasionally stay up late. After all, I can't stop you. But, if you become addicted to staying up late, I absolutely will not allow it!"
When he finished speaking, Shan Jiqing looked serious and earnest, as if he would come and fight with Jian Jianan if she didn't sleep one night again.
Jian Jianan knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and repeatedly assured him, "Okay, okay, I know, I know, I promise I won't do it again next time. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
Jian Jianan looked at Shan Jiqing as he spoke, wanting to impress him with his sincerity and make him believe in him one last time. He even wanted to put two fingers on his head and swear an oath.
Shan Jiqing looked at her antics and couldn't get angry anymore. He could only resign himself to his fate and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll take this as your agreement. I'll go make you breakfast now. You need to eat some protein and carbohydrates so that you won't feel tired in the morning."
Only then can we fight this tough battle with full energy.
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up with a smile, and he immediately stepped forward and hung on Shan Jiqing's back like a koala, saying sweetly, "I knew it, I knew Xiaoqing, you're so good to me, you definitely won't bear to see me starve!"
Shan Jiqing was helpless. He pretended to be ashamed and angry and whispered to Jian Jianan on his shoulder, "Don't move, don't move! Otherwise, I will make you a weird spring roll. Do you still want to eat a beautiful and perfect spring roll?"
Jian Jianan's sweet talk was full of sweet nothings, and he didn't even ask for money, just throwing it at Shan Jiqing: "No, no, I'll eat whatever shape of spring rolls you make. Anyway, everything you make is perfect in my opinion, so how can it be imperfect?"
The two of them spent a wonderful breakfast time amidst the noise of playfulness. Shan Jiqing escorted Jianan to the Goldman Sachs building early and leaned over to unbuckle her seatbelt. When Jianan was about to go upstairs, Shan Jiqing looked her in the eyes and said solemnly, "Good luck, Nannan."
Jian Jianan immediately responded loudly: "Thank you, I will have good luck today!"
At 7:10, Jian Jianan arrived at their team's office on time. She first finished the work that she had not had time to finish last night because it was too late, and then went back to her desk to tidy up. Finally, ten minutes later, Jian Jianan waited for Steve, who was always the first to come to the office.
The moment he saw the target person approaching, Jian Jianan rushed forward and placed a number of paper documents on his desk. He then said, "Mr. Steve, I've already printed out all the documents you asked me to print yesterday. Not only that, I've also sorted them into different categories. Those with the same subject have been pinned together with paper clips and placed in the same paper document bag. If the topic of this company comes up in the meeting, just open the corresponding document bag with the company's name on it."
Steve didn't expect that the first thing Jian Jianan said to him in the morning was this. She was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying calmly, "Okay, just put it on my desk. I didn't realize you were so thoughtful."
Jian Jianan tried to read Steve's expression, but couldn't tell from his words whether he was praising Jianan or being sarcastic.
Jian Jianan tilted his head and thought for a moment. Since he couldn't make a judgment, he decided not to think about it. Wasting emotions on such an insignificant thing was the most foolish behavior.
Jian Jianan smiled and said, "No, no, this is my job, I should do it."
Then she thought for a moment and added, "If there is other work next time, Mr. Steve, you can give me priority."
Steve looked up to Jianan, who took every opportunity to express his determination to seize the opportunity.
He raised his head and glanced at Jian Jianan, nodded without comment, and said, "Okay, if there's a chance next time."
Steve didn't say anything final, and Jian Jianan didn't get any promise or guarantee from him, but she still smiled and returned to her desk in a good mood.
The meeting officially began at eight o'clock.
Steve looked around their office, frowned, and said unhappily, "Who else hasn't come? I remember there were 27 of us in our group, but now there are only 26. Who's late?"
Jian Jianan was a little surprised that someone was late for such an important meeting. But at the same time, she felt a strange sense of relief. Should she be happy that the number 27 mentioned by Steve included her?
There was no special conference room for this meeting. Steve simply sat in his old office. When the time was almost up, he clapped his hands, got everyone's attention, and said with great satisfaction, "Come on, everyone, move your chairs forward. Let's have a meeting."
So everyone moved their office chairs forward and gathered in front of a large whiteboard at the front of the office.
Jian Jianan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she bravely moved her chair forward again and again. During the process of moving forward, someone noticed the situation on Jian Jianan's side and cast a strange look at her.
But Jian Jianan acted as if he didn't see it. He was very shameless and didn't feel that his status as an intern would bring any restrictions at all. He tried to grab a good position whenever he could.
Finally, Jian Jianan and Ruth stopped in the back rows, one on each side, and watched Steve preside over the meeting.
No one expressed any dissatisfaction or objection to the fact that Jian Jianan, an intern, was able to squeeze into the middle position to hold this meeting. Perhaps they felt that Jian Jianan, a trainee who had just been there for a few days, was not a threat to them at all. Or perhaps some people felt that Jian Jianan's behavior was too presumptuous, and that she would naturally give up during the meeting, so there was no need to stop her.
In short, Jian Jianan got a seat in the audience at the meeting under tacit consent for various reasons.
Steve checked his watch and cleared his throat. "Ahem, it's already time. Let's start our meeting. Those who are late will stay late. We don't welcome those who are late for our meetings."
Steve didn't care about the latecomers, nor did he try to find out who was late. After saying this, he opened the folded whiteboard, sat upright and said, "So let's discuss the allocation of funds among these ten stocks today..."
Jian Jianan took notes while listening, and it was true. Although she was not one of the previously decided attendees and no one told her what the theme of the meeting was, Jian Jianan had roughly guessed the theme based on the data and information she had sorted out yesterday.
Someone quickly expressed a different opinion: "I'm very optimistic about the stock code 03. Steel has always been a popular commodity and a pillar industry. Heavy industry cannot do without steel. Investing in this stock will definitely be beneficial. Even if it doesn't yield a return in the short term, it's a very reasonable investment in the long run. I'm voting for code 03."
Someone immediately disagreed, saying, "No, no, no, that's not the case. Even with commodities like these, market fluctuations can lead to massive losses. Didn't you hear about that ocean spill a few years ago? Isn't oil a precious resource? But after that incident, commodity prices across the market plummeted by more than 10%. We can't take that risk."
Everyone spoke freely and offered their opinions, and they all spoke sincerely. After all, their performance was closely tied to these stocks. If their group's allocation of funds to these stocks yielded the lion's share of the profits, they would also benefit. Otherwise, the company would lose money, and their personal development would suffer.
Everyone was able to say two or three words, and Jian Jianan had no chance to get a word in. Even Ruth beside her sternly refuted the opinion of another male colleague. The two of them started to confront each other, both talking about which stock to allocate most of the funds to.
As Jian Jianan listened, she was surprised to find that she could actually understand what they were talking about. Not only did she understand it, but she could also explain the deeper meaning of it.
It seems that staying up late in the past few days was worth it, otherwise Jian Jianan would not have been able to fit in with their conversation so easily.
But Jian Jianan did not interrupt easily. She decided to hide her incompetence. Everyone in this office was smart, and she, a young and inexperienced kid who had not yet graduated, should not show off her self-righteous cleverness easily.
Let’s see if there is a chance to speak later!
Jian Jianan was listening and taking notes. Suddenly, the door of the conference room, which was also his office, was opened with a bang, and a hurried face came into view.
The visitor hurriedly apologized to Steve: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm a little late today because my son suddenly had a fever and vomited. I was about to go out, but because of this, I had to send her to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Steve was originally listening to the people in the audience express their opinions when he was suddenly interrupted. He was already unhappy, and when he heard this reason, his brows furrowed tightly into a "川" shape. "What's your excuse? Ask these people here, if they can come on time, why can't you? Besides, if your son is sick, you can ask your husband to go. Isn't your husband at home?"
Steve's tone was unhappy, and the more he spoke, the harsher his voice became, making the visitor's face turn pale.
Jian Jianan knew the latecomer. She was the only two white women in the office besides Ruth. Of course, after Jian Jianan came to the office, there were three women in their group.
Jian Jianan is well aware of how difficult it is to be a woman, especially after she became a mother, it became even more difficult for her to get ahead in the workplace. Now she was caught on the spot by Steve for being late for taking care of her child. After enduring such a scolding, he would definitely report her and she would receive a greater punishment.
Thinking of this, Jian Jianan heard Ruth sighing deeply beside him and said worriedly, "What should I do? It's bad enough that Steve caught her, and it was such an important meeting. Steve definitely won't let her go so easily. Oh, really, I advised her not to take the child away when we divorced, but she just wouldn't listen."
Jian Jianan roughly understood what had happened from these two or three sentences, and she also started to worry. She asked curiously, "What are the consequences if Steve catches me late?"
Ruth explained to her, "If you pulled an all-nighter the night before and don't have anything important to do the next day, you can work flexibly. That means if you're an hour or two late for work, he won't mind. After all, everyone does it, and even the most serious leader will turn a blind eye. But this time is different. This time there's an important meeting that will determine the direction of most of our team's work for the next three months. It's very important. If someone is late for such a crucial occasion, Steve will be furious. The best outcome is to transfer her out of our team. I heard that Steve once insisted on reporting someone to the group and had her fired!"
Ah, fire her? If she were to be fired, how would that single mother, without a source of income, support herself and her son?
Jian Jianan didn't know, but she also understood that now was not the time to talk about this. She could only watch silently as the mother apologized to Steve again and again, but Steve never gave her a good look, so the mother could only return to the office with an embarrassed look on her face and listen to the meeting in the last row. She never dared to come forward again, and even dared not to have any eye contact with Steve.
Jian Jianan withdrew his gaze and continued to listen to the meeting. After about two hours of competition and heated discussion, everyone had roughly eliminated five stock codes, leaving five candidates. Their group will select the best one among these five stocks for investment portfolio. This is the key to everyone's performance and whether they can go further in the company.
But the argument got louder and louder as time went on, and even Steve, who tried hard to look fierce and ferocious with a stern face, couldn't calm everyone down and talk slowly.
"Stop, stop, stop! Be quiet! Stop arguing!" Steve had no choice but to temporarily stop the discussion and gave the analysts half an hour to rest. It was called a rest time, but in fact it was also a time for everyone to exchange opinions and exchange information. Then it would depend on who had the best eloquence and could convince the other person.
What can a person do in half an hour? It can allow a person's hand to press a button on a computer and create a huge wave in the stock market.
It can also allow Jian Jianan, who has just entered the financial market, to collect more information through conversations with others and strengthen his ideas.
"Yes, that's what I think..."
"Pete, you have to support me later. I've told you all my data. I'm completely open to you. I asked my good friend to steal it..."
"Well, man, with this data, what else do I not understand..."
Jian Jianan was truly amazed. After all, their group was deciding which stocks were more worth investing in. In order to know which stocks would greatly appreciate in value in the financial market in the future, data analysts had to collect as much information as possible.
In order to collect more information, analysts have used all their own unique skills.
From the gossip that Jian Jianan heard in just half an hour, there was an analyst who, a few years ago, took the authorization of his boss to join the target company. He started from the bottom and mastered most of the target company's operating data. Then, six months later, he resolutely resigned and returned to Goldman Sachs.
With the important business data obtained by the undercover analyst, their team invested heavily in the target company's stocks and doubled the return rate within three quarters, making a huge profit.
This analyst and his boss were directly promoted three levels for their achievements, which made the other analysts grit their teeth and envy them.
Jian Jianan was also dumbfounded after hearing this. There is actually such an operation? It is really eye-opening!
Of course, Jian Jianan insisted on sticking to her mute persona to the end. During this half hour, she only listened and didn't speak, which really allowed her to get a lot of information.
Someone else laughed and teased her, saying to Ruth, "Why, do you have a dumb little follower, or is she a tadpole who has been looking for you as her mother?"
Ruth was very displeased. She said to the man in front of her with a forced smile: "Oh, you are so experienced! It seems that you have had this memory since you were a tadpole!"
With a puff of laughter, Jian Jianan could no longer pretend to be mute, and she laughed. Ruth's mouth was really poisonous, and the man in front of her immediately blushed.
Then Ruth put her arm around Jianan's shoulders and comforted her, saying, "It's actually quite normal to be speechless when attending a meeting like this for the first time. I was like that too when I first started my internship. And I definitely didn't do as well as you did. I think you've almost integrated into the team in just three days. At least you know how every process works, which is impressive!"
Jian Jianan smiled, accepting Ruth's kindness, and then she asked curiously: "Ruth, can you tell me which stock you are targeting? I promise not to tell anyone else."
Ruth hesitated for a moment, and she looked into Jian Jianan's eyes, which were clear and transparent. It was obvious that in the financial industry, trusting others was the most unacceptable thing, and it could even be a taboo in the industry. Ruth suffered a lot of losses because of this in the beginning, but now looking into Jian Jianan's eyes, Ruth suddenly couldn't say no.
She thought about it and felt that it was actually okay to tell her now. The final stage of individual voting would come soon. Everyone had to report their favorite stock code and express their opinions. Finally, Steve would combine the individual opinions and the number of votes for each stock to come up with their group's final investment layout and report it.
If we tell Jianan now, she won't be able to cause any trouble. Besides, Ruth feels that Jianan has just started working in this industry and even if she wants to do something, it is unlikely.
“Coca-Cola, have you heard of this company?”
Jian Jianan was stunned. First, he didn't expect Ruth to tell him immediately. Second, he was surprised by the name of the Coca-Cola company. It sounded quite familiar to her.
Jian Jianan told Ruth seriously: "I'm quite familiar with it. I've learned about this company. It's doing well and there may be potential for further development."
"Right, right? Now that you understand this, it's easy. I also think their company has huge potential for development, but everyone is not optimistic about Coca-Cola. Because Pepsi is aggressively buying back Coca-Cola's stock price in the market to compete, and at a low price. People think that in this market competition, Coca-Cola will definitely lose to Pepsi. My opinion just now was not accepted by most people."
Jian Jianan laughed, and her next words gave Ruth strong support, "Don't worry, I also think Coca-Cola will definitely win. Even if not now, they will win this competition in the future. All you have to do is put forward all your opinions and convince them!"
Ruth didn't know where Jian Jianan's confident tone came from, and where her confidence came from. Ruth asked curiously, "Jane, why do you think my decision is right? Why does Coca-Cola have such high favor in your eyes?"
Jian Jianan smiled, then told her seriously, "Of course it's because I... I love drinking Coca-Cola! Such a delicious drink is definitely worth investing in. I believe he won't lose."
Jian Jianan has tried both types of cola, but she is a staunch Coca-Cola supporter. She thinks Pepsi is not bad, but it just has an indescribable strange taste. Jian Jianan inexplicably doesn't like it very much, but wholeheartedly supports Coca-Cola.
Just now, Ruth showed Jian Jianan the list she had made, which showed that she was well prepared. Jian Jianan also felt that her list was well-founded, and it was obvious that Coca-Cola was the best choice.
"Okay! Come back!" Thirty minutes passed in a flash, and Steve began to shout loudly, asking all the data analysts to quickly return to their posts. It should be time to proceed to the final step.
As expected, Jian Jianan then heard everyone talking freely, and the topics mostly revolved around the final stock selection, including Coca-Cola and another company called Livingston.
Ruth, of course, was a staunch supporter of Coca-Cola. She spoke freely, "Now is a great time to buy up a large amount of Coca-Cola shares! Its competitor, PepsiCo, has provoked a conflict between the two companies, and Coca-Cola's stock price is currently low. With the stock price depressed, it's a great opportunity for us to continue to buy back shares!"
Someone immediately disagreed. "No, no, no, that's not the case. How can this be a good time to acquire Coca-Cola when its stock is so low? We must invest in Livingston. Don't forget that Livingston holds a monopoly on the entire stretch of water from Elizabeth City to New York. Its future is clearly bright. Coca-Cola's stock price is low and its outlook is bleak. How can Miss Ruth believe it will thrive in the future?"
Yes, this is also a problem, and the focus of everyone's dispute lies here. Although Ruth insists that Coca-Cola will develop well in the future, data is the most convincing thing. And now, what is lacking is just such a piece of data to prove that Coca-Cola will definitely have a bright future in the future, and even surpass Livingston.
Ruth was speechless. Although she wanted to refute it very much, she couldn't make up any data without one. She could only sit down in silence. Just as others seemed to have given up all her words, she was also persuaded to agree with others' opinions.
Those who supported Livingston suddenly became as if they had won a great victory. They became very active and had enthusiastic discussions with Steve on the stage. Steve kept nodding in agreement. It seemed that the final spot was about to be decided.
However, at this critical moment, a clear yet powerful voice rang out among the crowd.
"Livingston is no match for Coca-Cola."
It was Jian Jianan. After listening to the meeting for six hours, she finally stood up and made her first statement, which surprised everyone.
Steve paused his conversation with the people in the first row, turned around to look at Jian Jianan, and slowly asked her, "Oh, our intern finally spoke? I thought you were mute after not speaking for six hours."
Everyone immediately burst into laughter. Some people, not wanting to make trouble, said to Steve on the stage, "Boss, don't be so fierce! If you do that, the little girl won't have the courage to stand up. If she sits down and doesn't say anything the next second, I'll see what you'll do!"
Steve smiled and looked at Jian Jianan, "Really? Then I'd like to see what our intern has to say."
Jian Jianan's expression remained unchanged. Even though many people were laughing at her from all directions, she stood in the middle very calmly and accepted everyone's attention.
She repeated her opinion slowly, word by word: "Let's give up Livingston and invest heavily in Coca-Cola."
Steve stopped smiling. He looked at Jian Jianan coldly and asked her, "So, intern, tell me your opinion now."
Jian Jianan smiled slightly and dropped a bombshell, "Livingston's franchise rights will most likely be reclaimed. Either this year or next year, it will definitely be reclaimed by the New York court."
"By that time, its greatest advantage will be gone. Please use your brains to think carefully. Without its monopoly, is Livingston still worth investing heavily in?"
What! Where did she get this information from?
Jian Jianan spoke, only slightly tilting his head to look at the file cabinet behind his desk.
Everyone thought it was a garbage dump, but in my opinion, there were good things in it!
