"I didn't expect that you, a fan, have such great power. It's a pity that we can't raise funds publicly." That night, Gu Junhao told Zhang Yiru the ins and outs of his plan to go to Yang City. Zhang Yiru was also a little emotional. To some extent, little classmate Gu already had a certain influence.
"It's okay, maybe there will be opportunities in the future." The Internet is virtual, but traffic is not. In Taogu Bar, although I did not appear on camera, to some extent I was similar to those short video bloggers in my previous life, and I mastered certain traffic passwords.
"Well, go ahead. Be careful on the road. Do you want to bring some local specialties or other gifts?"
"There's no time left. I'll just buy some cigarettes and alcohol at the airport. It'll be fine if I show my appreciation."
"That's right. If you lose money, it won't matter how many gifts you bring. But will you really mark the fund as losing money and not charge management fees?" Zhang Yiru learned about this rule only after she recently mentioned to Gu Junhao that she and Huanhuan wanted to invest a certain amount of money each in the share given .
"If there is a loss, this will be my last fund. Does it make any difference whether I am charged management fees or not?" If there is a loss, if I don't charge management fees, it means I am not capable enough, but my reputation is not too bad. If I charge management fees, it will be hard to say.
"Then won't you have to follow this rule when launching funds in the future?" This road is not easy to walk, and it is a bit like being hostile to your peers.
“Well, this will be a highlight of Junshi Capital in the future, and I hope this highlight can be maintained.” Although doing so may encounter some opinions from other peers in the industry, I still have to give it a try.
"No more talking, go to sleep, I'll take you to the airport tomorrow."
…
At 1:30 p.m. on May 17, 2014, a China Southern Airlines plane landed at Baiyun Airport. Gu Junhao, dressed lightly, walked out of the airport carrying a gift.
I arrived at the car rental company I had contacted in advance. After completing the formalities, I followed the navigation and headed straight to Yang City according to the location Su Mingyu had given me.
This is Gu Junhao's first visit to Yang City in his two lifetimes. He had never even heard of this city before he met Su Mingyu. Yang City is located on the western coast of Guangdong Province, close to the Pearl River Delta. It is a city with a permanent population of less than 3 million, and the knives here are quite famous.
Well, the kitchen knives in Yang City can be used to smash garlic. Su Mingyu had given Gu Junhao a set before, and they are quite useful.
It takes about three and a half hours to drive from Baiyun Airport to Yang City. When Gu Junhao arrived, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, which was already dinner time.
At Su Mingyu's home, after introducing Gu Junhao to his father and uncles, they went to the dining room and sat down. Gu Junhao had become accustomed to eating and drinking with all kinds of strangers these days.
However, this was the first time he had a meal at an investor's home. In Gu Junhao's opinion, those who could be brought home as guests were generally considered to be relatively close people. In his previous life, Gu Junhao would arrange for ordinary relatives to be entertained in hotels, and would only bring home as guests a few friends whom he cared about and trusted.
Gu Junhao was somewhat grateful that Su Mingyu arranged for him to be a guest at his home and that his parents had no objection.
Su Mingyu and his son look alike. Su's father is about the same height as Gu Junhao. Su's mother was also a teacher before, but now she has resigned and is at home. The two uncles are about 60% similar to Su's father. The four men in the family look alike and look quite funny.
No one mentioned investment at the dinner table, and there was no verbal probing. Everything seemed like an ordinary family dinner, just like entertaining his son's younger friends.
Father Su and his two uncles are all businessmen and veteran investors who have been in the A-share market for decades. They have seen a lot of ups and downs, so they naturally know how Gu Junhao performs.
After chatting for a while after dinner, Gu Junhao used the excuse of being tired to go back to the hotel to rest. Su Mingyu stood up and planned to send Gu Junhao to the hotel, and said that he would take him to have a good tour of Yang City.
However, Gu Junhao refused. Saying that he was tired was not entirely an excuse. After getting off the plane, he drove for more than three hours without stopping. He was indeed a little tired. He decided to go back to the hotel to rest for a while.
"How is it?" Su Mingyu's second uncle looked at his eldest brother and said.
"He's a nice guy, young and steady. His rate of return and trading skills are there. Xiaoyu has a good eye."
"That's right, Brother Gu is pretty awesome and a nice guy."
"Then invest?" Uncle San said after taking a sip of tea.
"Just invest. It's just a small amount of money. Just consider it as giving Xiaoyu some experience. If you make a loss, I'll take the blame." Father Su said generously.
"Brother, you are looking down on us. It's only 1 million. How can we lose it all? If we lose it, we can just consider it as a red envelope for Xiaoyu."
"You two are too pessimistic. I don't think you will lose money. I have carefully studied the delivery order of this young man. It seems risky, but it is actually very stable. Especially the timing of exit, the timing is very good." Su Mingyu's third uncle said.
"That's right. Every time he exits, the stock will create a new high. This operation method of not eating the tail of the fish not only leaves room for the market, but also allows him to clear out smoothly."
"Well, I used to think that he always traded with a full position, which was a bit greedy and risky. Later, I realized that this young man seemed greedy, but he was not greedy. He just maximized the utilization rate of funds."
"If his large funds still operate and ship in this way, then maybe the rate of return will give us a surprise."
"Okay, that's settled. We'll go back first. Xiaoyu will talk to him about the specific fund management fees tomorrow. If it's not too excessive, we'll invest."
"Okay, Uncle Two, Uncle Three, goodbye."
However, Su Mingyu did not wait until the next day. People in Guangdong Province are night owls, and going to bed before 2 a.m. is considered early. At around 12 a.m., after playing games , he asked Gu Junhao if he had slept. After learning that Gu Junhao had not slept, Su Mingyu ran to the hotel.
Gu Junhao had actually woken up. After returning to the hotel, he took a shower and went to sleep. After resting for a while, he was able to follow the rhythm of this night owl. The two of them went to the night snack stall together to eat pig intestine rolls, ma zai, stewed noodles and other specialties of Yang City.
"That's awesome, Brother Gu. You don't charge management fees even if there's a loss. That takes a lot of self-confidence." Su Mingyu exclaimed when he learned about Gu Junhao's fund rules.
"Do you think my company can continue to operate if it's making losses? If that's the case, this management fee is of no use." Gu Junhao said with a smile.
"Haha, that's right." After thinking for a while, Su Mingyu also laughed and said, "Our family plans to invest 10 million in total. Can Brother Gu take it?"
"10 million? No problem." Gu Junhao looked at Su Mingyu with some surprise. He originally thought that it was only a 4 million investment in favors, but he didn't expect it to be a huge amount of 10 million. However, he had no reason to refuse.
"I admire you, Brother Gu, you didn't even blink. I wish Brother Gu's fund a good start. Cheers!"
"Cheers!" After taking a sip of beer, Gu Junhao said, "Why do you people in Guangdong Province go to bed so late? It's as late as daytime at this late hour." The night snack stalls in Yang City are so crowded with people that it seems like daytime. This makes Gu Junhao, who rarely has a nightlife, a little uncomfortable.
"Haha, I can't really explain it. Everyone is like this anyway. Brother Gu, you haven't slept either."
"I took a nap when I got back to the hotel, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on. I rarely stay up past 12 o'clock."
"That may be the living habits of different places. Last time I went to Brother Gu's place, there were not many people on the street before 10 o'clock in the evening. I was quite puzzled at the time."
"Maybe, you should drink less."
"It's okay, just drink some beer to cool down."
The next day, Gu Junhao met with Su Mingyu's father again and roughly repeated what he had talked about with Su Mingyu. The two parties reached an agreement and only needed to wait for Junshi Capital to officially open for business. As for the filing of the fund, it was already underway.
The hurried trip to Yang City ended just like that. The result was an unexpected surprise. Gu Junhao did not expect that following Su Mingyu back would bring such a result. With Su Mingyu alone, the posts on Taoguba were worth it.
As the HR director would come for an interview on Monday, Gu Junhao hurried back to Ningbo on Sunday. By then, Gu Junhao's first fund had confirmed 30 million in subscription funds, which was a perfect start.
