Chapter 804: Selecting a Manager
Many people think that they are one opportunity away from success, but the knock on the door of opportunities is often very light, or in other words, the accompanying opportunities is often huge risks, but who can dare to stand up when facing risks? Sometimes what people lack is not ability, but the courage to take responsibility.
If I had not stood up in the face of that situation, I would probably not have the Zhou Zifang today...
He slowly closed the book with his hands, and then Zhou Zifang picked up a cup of coffee. At this time, Zhou Zifang was already a famous fund manager in the financial circle. He took a sip of coffee and looked out the window. From the window of his office, he could directly see the Oriental Pearl Tower. However, he had no interest in appreciation, but his thoughts drifted further away, remembering the dream-like experience in Zhou Lane twenty years ago...
It was at the gate of the Zhoujia Ancestral Hall. Zhouxiang Development Fund was released, attracting many scalpers. In order to combat scalpers, the fund not only announced the fund's seven-day annualized yield, but also formulated regulations on the closed period and transfer fees.
The scalpers lined up here all night, just waiting to make a fortune? Now that you suddenly came up with these rules, wouldn’t you be cutting off the financial path of these scalpers? Of course they stopped doing it, and they started to make a fuss on the spot, and the crowd shouted at Zhou Wenhai excitedly.
"Why are you doing these rules? We lined up all night and you tell us now that there are these rules. Are you cheating us? What a bullshit period? I think you were going to run away with the money, just like the illegal fundraising of the wilderness company. Otherwise, why don't you let us transfer it? Are you just afraid that your illegal fundraising will be exposed? You guys..."
These scalpers didn't count the clamor, but they mobilized the masses to resist these rules: "Everyone heard it? This is Zhouxiang Fund. They don't want to sell it to us at all. Everything is settled. Everyone has dispersed. They don't look like they sell it to outsiders at all!"
"Do you think you can buy it if you are a Zhouxiang person? Don't be stupid. You know that they will only sell it to their immediate family members. How can they sell it to you outsiders? If they really sell it to you, you may not be allowed to transfer it. Do you feel at ease? Yuanye Company illegally raised 5 billion yuan in funds in the past few years? Now this Zhouxiang fund is just like this..."
Faced with the clamor of these scalpers, the people queuing at the door began to shake their confidence. Yes, if this fund is really so profitable, why not sell it to their own people? If it is sold to their own people, what is the point of queuing with outsiders? There is also a closed period and transfer fee. After all, isn’t it just to tie the money to the fund? Is it really illegal fundraising?
The scalpers were hesitant when they looked at these people. They looked at Zhou Wenhai proudly, as if they were provoking: How about it? If you dare not let us buy it, I will make you unable to make a deal!
Zhou Zifang felt very angry. These scalpers were so hateful. They were obviously speculating and trying to cheat Zhouxiang people, but now they still slander the fund like this.
But do you really want to stand out? These scalpers are so crowded and powerful. What if they take their anger on themselves?
Not only that, isn’t what I want to buy funds? Isn’t it just what I want to kill these people now? There are fewer people competing with me, shouldn’t I be happy?
Zhou Zifang was very struggling. He knew everything, and knew who was right and who was wrong, but he was the conspirator.
But he didn't dare to say it all, and suddenly he remembered a sentence: Do you want to be a hero for a second or a coward for a lifetime?
So Zhou Zifang made a decision in the end and he stood up.
"Everyone, don't believe them. They are all scalpers. They are liars! They have been queuing here since last night. Their purpose is to buy funds in front of everyone and then sell them to you at a high price. So the new rules set by the third grandpa and the others are to prevent these scalpers from taking advantage of the opportunity!"
No one expected that Zhou Zifang suddenly stood up at this time, especially those scalpers who were just proud of themselves, were completely caught off guard.
These scalpers immediately pointed their guns at Zhou Zifang: "Don't you go fart! We are here to buy funds, who said that Zhouxiang Fund is not allowed to be bought by outsiders? Why do you say that we are scalpers? We have been queuing for so long, and I also said that you were queuing here when we came. I think you are scalpers. Now you are helping Zhouxiang Fund, don't you hired them to escort..."
Faced with the backlash from these scalpers, Zhou Zifang was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had already stood up, so he could do it to the end!
He turned to everyone and said, "I am a person from Zhouxiang. Someone should know me, right? My name is Zhouzifang. I can tell you very responsibly that our Zhouxiang Development Fund is a formal fund with public qualifications, and it is completely different from the illegal fundraising Yuanye Company. He invests through treasury bonds and corporate bonds, so it can give us high investment dividends."
Zhou Zifang also said: "I believe that Grandpa, Third Grandpa and Boss Zhou Ming made funds to make money for us for our own good, but these scalpers suddenly came out to grab our funds. Grandpa San had no choice but to set these rules to ensure that the foundation was in the hands of every person who really invested, rather than these speculative things!"
Zhou Zifang's words are quite convincing, and some people also recognize Zhou Zifang and know that he studied finance in Binhai and understands stocks and funds.
With these introductions, more and more people believed in Zhou Zifang, which made the scalpers become more and more panicked.
"Don't believe him. He is clearly in the same group as the fund. He is just to cheat your money. We are the real investments. They are just excluding you..."
But the more they talked, the more guilty they became, and no one believed them. Someone shouted "Take out the garbage", and then the people in the alleys all took action and rushed to the scalpers. The scalpers saw that the situation was not good, so they were in venom.
Seeing these scalpers running away in panic, Zhouxiang laughed.
Then, under the leadership of Zhou Wenhai, the team re-arranged, and all of this was seen by Zhou Feiyi and Zhou Ming.
"It seems that the people in Zhouxiang are working together!" Zhou Feiyi was very pleased, at least they expected that the worst situation did not happen.
Zhou Ming fell in love with Zhou Zifang who dared to stand up: "Grandpa, do you know that person?"
Of course, Zhou Feiyi knew who Zhou Ming was talking about: "Do you think about ovary? He is also a more inspiring person in Zhouxiang. His family is not in good condition. He relied on his own efforts to study finance. He heard that he happened to study finance and has just graduated recently. It seems that he also knows that the fund is going to invest in, but he didn't expect that he happened to run into this."
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "I think we can have a good talk with him."
.”
Zhou Feiyi understood Zhou Ming’s plan a little, and nodded to say that there was no problem. So after Zhou Zifang subscribed to the fund shares, Zhou Feiyi directly asked him to enter the ancestral hall and took him to the main hall.
Zhou Ming was sitting in the main hall at this time. Zhou Feiyi asked Zhou Zifang to sit down and introduced him: "This is Zhou Ming, I think you should have heard of it?"
Zhou Zifang seemed a little cramped, and he nodded repeatedly to the grandfather's introduction: "Of course I know that Boss Zhou Ming is a celebrity in our Zhouxiang. He donated more than one million to establish the Zhouxiang Development Foundation and built the ancestral hall and family tree without blinking. He is our idol!"
Listening to others praising him in person, Zhou Ming was still a little embarrassed: "Thank you for your love."
Then Zhou Ming went to the topic and asked him: "I heard that you studied finance in Binhai University, right?"
Zhou Zifang nodded and said yes, and Zhou Ming asked him again: "I saw you standing up so bravely just now. Aren't you afraid?"
Zhou Zifang scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of you, Boss Zhou Ming, you joked. I'm actually quite scared at that time. But I thought at that time, we can't bully the people in Zhouxiang so much. It's obvious that they are wrong. Grandpa and Boss Zhou Ming, you did that to attack them. Why can they still say so righteously? I'm not convinced! I believe everyone can distinguish right from wrong, and evil will not suppress justice!"
Zhou Ming applauded him: "Well said, evil will not suppress righteousness! Then now I have the idea to let you enter Zhouxiang Development Fund, are you willing?"
This is the most important purpose of Zhou Ming’s appointment with Zhou Zifang, and let him enter Zhouxiang Development Fund.
The reason why Zhouxiang Development Fund merged with Lin Muqing's Siming Investment Fund was to simplify procedures and save time on the one hand, but there was also an equally important reason, that is, Zhou Feiyi and Zhou Wenhai didn't understand finance, and it was okay to ask them to be the boss to handle Zhouxiang affairs. If they wanted to do funds, they would not have the ability. Looking at the entire Zhouxiang, they couldn't remember who could build a good fund for a while.
It is because no one in Zhouxiang can take on this important task that Zhou Ming can only hand over the operation of Zhouxiang Development Fund to Siming Investment Fund. Anyway, the Zhouxiang Development Fund is not large at present, so Siming Investment Fund can get an extra custody fee, so why not do it?
But this is not a long-term solution. Since it is Zhouxiang's fund, it is related to the development of the Zhou family, and it will definitely be better to return to the Zhou family and custody it yourself. The same is true for the eldest grandfather Zhou Feiyi and the third grandfather Zhou Wenhai.
Of course, Zhou Ming was not a random person to choose people. He just saw Zhou Zifang’s performance just now and was sure that he was a person with a sense of justice and responsibility. His family conditions and experience also showed that he was a tenacious person, able to endure the temperament and endure hardships. Thinking of him studying finance again, he wanted him to try it in the fund.
"Of course, you won't do the operation of Zhouxiang Development Fund from the beginning, but will first arrange for you to join Siming Investment Fund Company as an assistant manager, so that you can follow other investors to learn the management and operation of the fund, and then try to operate Zhouxiang Development Fund when you can stand alone." Zhou Ming said very truthfully, "It may be a little harder, are you willing?"
Zhou Zifang nodded without hesitation: "I do, of course I do!"
Zhou Ming smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "Then welcome you to join the Zhouxiang Development Fund."
