"Hello, Mr. Guo, I am Gu Junhao." Gu Junhao entered the conference room, extended his hand and looked at the visitor.
Guo Yuanwei is tall, with regular features. There is a hint of sadness between his brows, but his eyes are firm. He does not look like a southerner born by the Yangtze River, but more like a northerner.
While Gu Junhao was looking at Guo Yuanwei, Guo Yuanwei was also looking at him.
Before I came, the teacher only told me that this was a start-up investment company. Its main business was private equity funds. The boss was relatively young. If I was interested, I could go and take a look. The salary was good and it was not far from home.
Professor Liu was Guo Yuanwei’s former mentor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, but he was poached by Ningbo University at a huge price.
The young that the teacher talked about was not quite the same as what I imagined. I originally thought that young meant someone in their early 30s, but the Mr. Gu in front of me looked to be in his early 20s at most. Although his movements and expressions were relatively mature, his face looked too young.
At this moment, Guo Yuanwei hesitated. He already had a family. Was it worth it to take the risk of following such a young man?
"Excuse me for asking, how old is Mr. Gu?" Guo Yuanwei didn't know much about Junshi Capital and Gu Junhao himself. He came here on his own because his teacher recommended him to the company.
Apart from knowing the company address and the boss's name, the information that can be found on the Internet is very limited. I took a quick look around when I came in and found that there were not many office staff.
In addition, the HR director who just received me looked extremely experienced.
"Born in 1991, currently 23 years old." Gu Junhao said with a smile. In fact, the date of birth on his ID card is 1992, but Gu Junhao is used to saying his lunar birthday.
"23 years old, so young." Guo Yuanwei exclaimed.
It may sound incredible that a private equity investment company was registered at the age of 23.
"Mr. Guo, do you have anything to say? Please sit down and talk." Gu Junhao seemed to see Guo Yuanwei's dilemma, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself how old he was as the first question.
After calming himself down, Guo Yuanwei sat down and couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly. It seemed that he had been away from society for too long, and a young man could easily see through him.
"I was a little surprised by Mr. Gu's age. My mentor mentioned it before I came here, but I didn't expect that Mr. Gu was even younger than I thought. I don't know if I have the energy to accompany Mr. Gu."
"Is it just a concern about age? Or are there other aspects? Mr. Guo might as well raise them together."
"Okay, in that case, I'll be straight to the point. I hope you can forgive me if I'm offended." Since it was the tutor who introduced us, I believe that both parties must be acquaintances. It's better to talk about some things openly to avoid misunderstandings.
"I roughly know what Mr. Guo wants to say. Mr. Guo doesn't know me well. He thinks that opening an investment company at my age is just for fun, right?"
"Yes, that's roughly what it means."
"I understand Mr. Guo's grief over the loss of his father, but I want to say that you should adapt to society again and stop sinking into despair. Since you were introduced by an acquaintance, why ? To put it another way, as an interviewer, you should have a basic understanding of the company you are interviewing for."
"The person I'm entrusting is my high school class teacher and my girlfriend's father. You can ask Professor Liu to ask him about my specific situation later. Let's not talk about it here for now."
"You are worried about whether the company can continue to operate. This should be the issue that I, as the boss, am concerned about for the time being. In addition, since you can be hired as the financial director, all the company's financial data will be disclosed to you. Isn't it clear to you when you see this?"
"Also, regardless of whether Mr. Guo will become our company's financial director, I want to tell you something: don't judge a person by his appearance. Youth does not mean instability. On the contrary, youth represents hope. You should be glad that you have a young boss."
Gu Junhao's series of words left Guo Yuanwei speechless. Yes, he did make the mistake of judging people by appearances, and walked into a dead end of thinking. He actually forgot that he was applying for the position of financial director. Whether the company can continue to operate, can't we know ?
"I'm very ashamed. Mr. Gu's words woke me up from a dream." Guo Yuanwei stood up with an embarrassed look on his face and apologized to Gu Junhao.
"Okay, I won't say any more. I'll show you our company's financial data first. You don't have to go back today. Let's officially start working."
"Ah? You're going to work already?" Guo Yuanwei was stunned. He didn't expect that the young and tidy Mr. Gu would scold him and then let him start work immediately.
"Any questions? You still have your professional skills, right? Don't worry about the salary. The contract is already being worked on. It will definitely be better than your last job. Come with me."
Through the introduction of acquaintances and his previous observation, Gu Junhao discovered that Guo Yuanwei was a bit timid and cautious, not as good as he looked. But this is better, as these are the basic qualities that a financial staff should possess. As long as his business capabilities are fine, the position of financial director will be his.
In fact, there is no more suitable candidate at the moment. As for the fact that he knew the company's financial data, it is not a secret and nothing can happen even if he knew it.
Gu Junhao turned and walked out the door, and Guo Yuanwei followed him blankly. Suddenly, Gu Junhao stopped and said with a smile, "By the way, you won't get paid for the next few days in May. This is a punishment for your contempt for me just now."
"Well, okay, Mr. Gu really has personality." Guo Yuanwei smiled helplessly. In that case, then let's go and see. As for this month's salary, Guo Yuanwei really hadn't thought about it.
Guo Yuanwei's business level is still there. A casual glance reveals that Junshi Capital's current financial situation is good. When he heard that Gu Junhao had raised 30 million yuan for his first fund, Guo Yuanwei was relieved.
The first fund is 30 million, and the company is currently in good financial condition with no debts. This start is no longer considered a small private equity fund, but as long as the fund runs well, it is still promising; there is no need to worry about the risk of bankruptcy.
"Is it okay, Director Guo?" Gu Junhao said as he looked at Guo Yuanwei who was browsing the financial data.
"No problem. I didn't expect that as a startup company, we can have such a good financial situation." After Guo Yuanwei got into the working state, his whole spirit seemed to have changed. He no longer had the timid feeling just now.
"Okay then. I'll take you to sign the contract first, and then I'll leave the company's finances to you."
"Ok, no problem."
"Not worried anymore?"
"Don't worry!" After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
After helping Guo Yuanwei sign the employment contract, Gu Junhao returned to his office. At present, the talents for important positions have basically been in place, and the filing of the fund has been completed. All that remains is to wait for the opening of the business, at which time his first fund can be officially launched.
"Then let's officially open on June 6th." Gu Junhao thought as he looked at the calendar.
June 6th is a good number, and it is also the Grain in Ear day in the twenty-four solar terms. Grain in Ear has a very important meaning in farming, and I hope I can sow the fruits of hope on this day.
"We have to notify all investors and ask them to come over on June 6 to sign the contract." As for Beicang and Jiang Jianbai, Brother Jiang, we can just ask the administration to notify them. It should be no problem since the road is so short. However, since Su Mingyu is out of town, we have to notify them ourselves to see if they have time to come.
After finishing some company matters, it was already lunchtime, and the front desk delivered the takeaway to Gu Junhao's office. At present, the company does not have the conditions to have its own cafeteria, and there are not many people, so lunch is ordered in a unified manner. Dinner is not provided, but each person is subsidized 50 yuan per meal.
The meal allowance of 50 yuan is considered relatively generous in Beicang. Previously, the meal allowance standard of the company where Gu Junhao worked was only 15 yuan.
But there is no way around it. Firstly, the company is not well-known, and secondly, Beicang is a relatively remote place in Ningbo. It can only attract talents by offering salary, welfare and other benefits. This is also a difficulty for start-ups, which invisibly increases operating costs.
Excluding senior executives, the average salary of Junshi Capital's ordinary employees, including front desk, administrative and other basic positions, is nearly 30% higher than that of its peers in Ningbo, and is much higher than the average salary in Beicang. Senior executives were poached at high salaries, so the expenditure on wages is still relatively large.
In the afternoon, Gu Junhao had nothing to do, so he stayed in the office to watch the market. Su Mingyu also replied at noon, saying that he had conveyed his thoughts to Su's father, but he would not be able to reply until later.
Yinzhijie has not opened the board since it was capped at 9:50 in the morning. The largest selling order on the daily limit throughout the morning was no more than 1,740 lots. Apart from that, there was only one sell order of 500 lots, and the rest were all scattered orders.
This also shows that the main funds either have a very high degree of control over the market or have a strong bullish intention. Judging from the hand-holding rate and early trading performance, Gu Junhao is more inclined to the first one.
The Shanghai Composite Index opened high and closed low in the morning, but the fluctuation range was still very small. However, the ChiNext performed strongly, opening high and closing high, and theme stocks remained active.
Except for the trading volume, Tonghuashun's performance today was still sluggish, with the amplitude of less than 2% throughout the morning. However, it still closed at 13.66 yuan in the morning, achieving a positive end.
Another closely watched stock, Dongfang Fortune, had its rights ex-rights today. However, perhaps due to the influence of the ChiNext Index, its performance was much stronger than that of Tonghuashun on the ex-rights day. It closed at 10.89 yuan at noon, up 3%. The trading volume for the entire morning was close to 300 million yuan, which is the total trading volume of Tonghuashun in the past three days.
"When in doubt, buy Dongcai. It's definitely the right thing to do." Judging from the performance on the ex-rights day alone, Dongfang Wealth has undoubtedly further confirmed its leading position. It's definitely the right thing to do to buy leading stocks.
