Chapter 100 Fund Raising
In the next two days, Gu Junhao was busy meeting with Qin Junkai's friends one by one. These second-generation rich people were not as extravagant and spendthrift as people said on the Internet. Most of them were actually quite well-behaved and had their own jobs.
In fact, not everyone among the real second-generation rich is as bad as reported on the Internet. The news often exaggerates a certain point, and most family businesses that can be passed on are relatively orderly.
Most of these second-generation rich people are cautious about investing in private equity funds. However, the fund rules designed by Gu Junhao are also one of his selling points. No management fees are required in case of losses, which is much better than other funds.
As for sharing the excess profits, we are not fools. If you can make such a huge profit, that would naturally be the best.
With this unique highlight in the market, Gu Junhao's fund products have gained a certain degree of popularity in a small range in Beicang, and some bosses with investment needs have also inquired about it.
With some understanding of local A-share companies, some of the bosses are even the bosses of listed companies in the future. However, the scale of their companies is not large at this stage, which also gives Gu Junhao a lot of room to make friends.
Most of these people started from scratch and built up step by step. They knew how difficult it was to start a business. Most of them were easy-going and did not look down on Gu Junhao, but they were more cautious when it came to the specific investment shares.
Things like circles, once entered, can spread very quickly, but everything still depends on the returns. If this fund can achieve the expected returns, I believe Gu Junhao should be able to gain a foothold within a certain area in Beicang.
"You drank so much. Why don't you just invest in stocks and make some money? Why do you have to do private equity?" Zhang Yiru complained with a distressed look on her face.
"It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once I become famous, I won't have to do this anymore." Gu Junhao lay on the sofa with a dizzy head. He had just vomited and was much more sober.
In this way, Gu Junhao successfully negotiated with several customers, but he also drank a lot of wine. Many things were discussed over the wine table. With the national conditions like this, Gu Junhao was no exception. No wonder Jiangxiang Technology sold so well.
Starting from the 8th, for a week, Gu Junhao visited the bosses who were interested in investing one by one. He had to break his promise to Zhang Yiru to clean the office together. Recently, it turned out that Zhang Yiru didn't know how she fooled Liu Ruihuan, and together with Aunt Qin who came to monitor the progress of the decoration, the three of them cleaned together for two days.
Liu Ruihuan, who had been a free laborer for two days, naturally would not let Zhang Yiru go and gave her a good beating.
Gu Junhao’s idea is that it would be best if he could raise enough funds locally so that he wouldn’t have to go to other places.
I am in a foreign place and I am unfamiliar with the place. I have also disclosed my holdings online. Although domestic security is very guaranteed now, it is inevitable that I will run into some criminals.
"You can't drink continuously. Drinking every day is too harmful to your health." Zhang Yiru felt distressed by Gu Junhao's appearance. Although Gu Junhao could drink quite well, he didn't like drinking, especially white wine; she knew this.
In order to attract investment shares, Xiao Gu ran all over the Beicang this week, saw a lot of smiles, and drank a lot of wine.
"It's okay. We've already attracted a lot of investment, so you won't have to do this again in the future," Gu Junhao comforted.
There is a reward for every effort, and I have gained a lot this week. In addition to securing a total investment share of 3 million from Qin Junkai's three friends, Gu Junhao also attracted investment from six business owners, making a total of 10 clients .
Among these 10 customers, the most generous one is Xu Dong, the owner of a company engaged in precision aluminum alloy automotive parts, who spent 4 million in one go.
Among the 10 clients, two bosses invested 2 million yuan, and the rest invested 1 million yuan each. In this way, Gu Junhao raised 18 million yuan in funds. If he invested another 2 million yuan, he would have 20 million yuan in total. For a newcomer, it was a good start.
Gu Junhao didn't plan to recruit clients anymore. The first fund was mainly to build his own reputation. The amount of money was not important. Besides, he really didn't want to drink continuously.
However, if something is brought to your door, I will accept it, but I won't drink with it.
The most generous boss is Mr. Xu Dong, whose company is called Xushen Auto Parts Company. Currently, it is actually more engaged in mold development business, and the factory area is not large, far from the glory of continuous expansion after listing in the future.
By the way, Beicang also has another title, the hometown of die-casting molds. The output of die-casting molds accounts for half of the country, and it has formed its own industrial chain. There are also many bosses of all sizes who run mold factories.
However, from the conversation with Boss Xu, Gu Junhao also felt that the reason why some people can succeed is not just due to luck. In his previous life, Gu Junhao had some understanding of Xushen after its listing, and believed that it just caught the Tesla train.
Boss Xu is a generous person and treats his employees well. The employee benefits are considered pretty good in Beicang. Although he does not have a particularly good knowledge of securities, he is still very curious.
After contacting Gu Junhao through various connections, Gu Junhao came to the door and the two talked for a long time in Boss Xu's office. Boss Xu immediately said that he could invest 4 million. This was the only investment that Gu Junhao negotiated without drinking . Lunch was eaten in Xushen's cafeteria.
"It's a pity that I can't take out more, otherwise I could invest more." Boss Xu sighed while eating his work meal in the cafeteria.
"Haha, Boss Xu, you should focus on your main business. Let us young people test the waters for investment. I think your current positioning is quite good. Use precision molds as a starting point to enter the automotive parts industry."
"You are a good young man. No one can deny the return on stock. I didn't expect you to have your own opinions on the real economy . Some of your opinions are quite novel."
During the morning chat, Gu Junhao also had his own insights on the future of the new energy vehicle industry. These were relatively novel ideas for Xu Dong today. They also broadened his horizons and he benefited from them.
If the mold industry does not seek transformation and become specialized and innovative, or has its own fixed large customer base and only makes some low-end molds, it will be difficult to maintain profits. Xu Dong is currently also troubled by this.
Looking at Gu Junhao again, Xu Dong said appreciatively, "It's great that he can drink Maotai with Lao Lu and eat these simple working meals with me."
Old Lu was not Gu Junhao’s previous supervisor, but another investor and friend of Xu Dong. There are many people with the surname Lu and Gu here, as they are the Three Wu families.
"No, Boss Xu, the work meals in your company are pretty good. At least better than where I worked before." Gu Junhao's words were not entirely compliments. The quality of the work meals was indeed good. The two of them did not cook for themselves, but ordered the same meal as ordinary employees, two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a soup. The taste was okay.
"Haha, that's right. I forgot that you had a lot of work meals like this before. But it's not easy for a young person to maintain such a stable mentality when his wealth suddenly increases."
People like Xu Dong who started from scratch can best understand the mentality of a person who suddenly becomes rich. There are many people in the same industry who are like this: they receive a big order, make a lot of money, and then start to squander it.
Gu Junhao is very young, and he was just an ordinary office worker before. He must have lived a tight life. Suddenly he has a net worth of over tens of millions, and it is really not easy for him to maintain such a mentality.
"No, Boss Xu, you're too kind." Gu Junhao said embarrassedly. In fact, Boss Xu was really overthinking it. It's not that Gu Junhao didn't have a change in his mentality, he just didn't care so much about food and drink, as long as he was full, it was fine.
"I'm full, thank you Mr. Xu for your hospitality. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." After finishing his meal, he sat in Xu Dong's office for a while. Seeing that people kept coming in to look for him, Gu Junhao tactfully chose to slip away.
"Okay, then I won't be pretentious. Tell me when your company opens. I'll send you flowers and we'll sign the formal contract at the same time." After chatting with Gu Junhao for the whole morning and not doing anything, Xu Dong was really busy at the moment, so he didn't keep Gu Junhao.
"Thank you, Boss Xu. I will treat you next time."
"Don't call me Boss Xu, Boss Xu. It sounds weird. If you don't mind my age, just call me Brother Xu." The two chatted for the whole morning and seemed to get along quite well.
"Haha, fine then. I'll leave first, Brother Xu."
"Okay, see you next time."
"See you next time."
With the funds from these 10 clients, Gu Junhao's life would be much easier in the days ahead. Qin Guangyuan was also very quick and found the human resources director that Gu Junhao needed within a week. The resume looked very good and they just had to wait for the interview next Monday.
In May, those who wanted to change jobs had already found jobs after receiving their year-end bonuses before the New Year, or some of them wanted to wait until the end of the year to see. Qin Guangyuan was able to find a suitable candidate within a week in May when staff turnover was not frequent, which shows that he put in a lot of effort.
Qin Guangyuan's idea was quite simple. In his eyes, Gu Junhao was now a potential stock. If he did him a favor at this time, they would have the opportunity to have better cooperation in the future. Besides, Gu Junhao had also paid a considerable agency fee.
In fact, Qin Guangyuan felt that he was quite suitable for the position of HR Director of Junshi Capital. He had enough personal connections. As long as Gu Junhao was willing to spend money to recruit people, he could help him build a team quickly. However, Gu Junhao did not mention it, so Qin Guangyuan did not want to recommend himself.
