Chapter 144: A unique investment exchange meeting
"Boss, Manager Gu Manyi just called and asked if you are interested in attending the investment exchange meeting to be held this weekend." As soon as Gu Junhao returned to the office, his assistant Li Xinyu reported with a happy face.
"I see. What's there to be happy about?" Brokerage companies often organize regular communication meetings with some clients. They have invited me before, but Gu Junhao declined.
In my previous life, I didn’t like to participate in the so-called exchange meetings organized by brokerage firms. They were nothing more than selling products and promoting their own business departments.
"It's not because of this. The net value of the fund has been announced. I see that the response online is good, especially from the place where you became famous, Taogu Bar." After the company was established, Gu Junhao spent less and less time paying attention to online comments. Part of the information was collected by Xu Yan, and part was handed over to Li Xinyu to handle.
The company does not have a specific operation team. Li Xinyu is in charge of Gu Junhao’s personal Weibo account and the company’s official account, while Zhou Ao from the technical department is responsible for technical guidance.
Not only some people outside are paying attention to the net value trend of Junshi No. 1, but also the internal staff of Junshi Investment are paying attention to it. The net value curvature of Junshi No. 1 is related to the survival of the entire company.
It can be said that at present, more than a dozen people in the company care more about the net value curvature of the fund than Gu Junhao. If eventually suffers losses, it will not have much impact on Gu Junhao. At most, he will just be a retail investor again. Even if he does not trade stocks in the future, he can still live a worry-free life with the tens of millions of profits he has earned so far.
Among the company's employees, except for a few senior executives who are middle-aged people in their prime, most of the others are young people in their 20s. The work is easy, the income is high, and the boss is easy to talk to. Where can you find such a job?
Everyone knows that once the first fund finally loses money, you have to look for a new job. The new job may not necessarily offer such good treatment. However, since the boss is personally responsible for the fund operation, others cannot help even if they are anxious. However, the whole company is still very encouraged to see the fund's net value grow steadily.
After thinking about it, Gu Junhao picked up the phone and called Gu Manyi; things are different now. Before, he was just a nobody and it was meaningless for him to attend such a meeting. Now is the time for him to expand his network, and it would be nice if he could get to know a few people.
"Boss, are you going to attend that exchange meeting?" Li Xinyu asked curiously, but as a personal assistant, it was not excessive to know the boss's schedule.
When she first came to Junshi Capital, Li Xinyu thought that Gu Junhao was a very high-profile person. This was the initial impression left on her by the comments on the Internet. But after getting along with him for a while, Li Xinyu found that Gu Junhao was not what she had imagined, at least he was a little too low-key.
Apart from some social engagements that he couldn't avoid, Gu Junhao would go to and from get off work on time almost every day, and then go home to be with his girlfriend. He never went out to bars and treated his colleagues very well. He didn't have the bad habits that come with being successful at a young age.
"Well, let's go and participate and see what we can gain ." Gu Junhao nodded.
"Boss, do you really dislike this kind of activities? I see you rarely attend such large gatherings."
"Well, from my inner perspective, I don't like having too complicated social circles, but since I've chosen this industry, there's nothing I can do about it. I have to adapt to society."
"Boss, why are you acting like an old man? You're just attending a meeting to listen to what others say, but you think it's a big deal."
"How can I fool you if I don't do this? So I'm the boss and you're the employees. OK, it's time to get off work."
"Do you want me to come with you ?"
"No, you can do whatever you need to do on the weekend. I won't work overtime unless necessary."
…
"The sales department will hold an exchange meeting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have agreed. Do you want to go with me to listen?" Gu Junhao said to Zhang Yiru during dinner.
"What's so good about this? Isn't it just attracting customers, selling funds and recommending financial products?"
"I've asked, and this time we invited some people in the industry to come and exchange ideas. There will be some substantive things, and I think it's a good idea to go and listen to them together. As for the selling of financial products you mentioned, there must be that as well." As a member of the same financial circle, Gu Junhao felt that if there was some substantive content, it wouldn't hurt for Zhang Yiru to listen to it.
"Okay then. I don't have anything to do tomorrow anyway. If you go, we'll be family at home too. Why don't we go together?"
The next day, Gu Junhao drove Zhang Yiru to the venue of the exchange meeting, Bixiu Villa, a leisure resort located near Jiufeng Mountain that integrates conference reception, accommodation, food and leisure, which is perfect for summer.
"You're willing to spend so much money to book a banquet hall." Zhang Yiru looked at Gu Junhao in surprise. It seems that the scale of this meeting is quite good.
"They said they had invited some people in the industry to give us lectures. Judging from the specifications, they should not be fooling us." Normally, it would not cost so much to fool retail investors by selling financial products, and most of the time it can be solved in the sales department.
The two arrived early, and it was not yet the official time of the exchange meeting. In addition to the staff wearing villa uniforms and brokerage work clothes, there were also some people like Gu Junhao who arrived early.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, welcome." Manager Wang, who was organizing the meeting, saw Gu Junhao and hurriedly called Gu Manyi to greet him.
"Hello, Manager Wang. It's been a while since we last met. This is my girlfriend, Zhang Yiru. Please forgive me for coming over so presumptuously." Gu Junhao took the initiative to introduce Zhang Yiru, and then greeted Gu Manyi, saying, "Long time no see, Sister Gu."
"Hello, Manager Wang, and Sister Gu." Zhang Yiru also greeted them.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gu, welcome Miss Zhang." Looking at Gu Junhao and the other person who looked like a golden boy and a jade girl in front of her, Gu Manyi had a complicated expression. This young man always gave people unexpected results.
Not to mention the time when he opened the account, it took less than two years for him to have a net worth of tens of millions. Now, from being unpopular in the early days of the company's establishment to being paid attention to by the financial circle of Jeonbuk Cang.
All this happened in just two months. It seemed that Gu Junhao always had a magical power to change other people's opinions in a short period of time. This was the case with Tong Huashun's performance.
It seems hard to believe that Tonghuashun's performance was not affected by Gu Junhao; when the market corrects, most individual stocks will indeed fall sharply, but there are always some stocks that can go against the market trend.
For example, the two stocks that Gu Junhao had invested in earlier, Wangsu Technology and Dafu Technology, had been following their own independent trends for a long period of time, without fear of adjustments in the broader market.
And Tong Huashun managed to grab the leading position under such a strong sector. After a large breakthrough in intraday volume, it actually remained at a low level and fluctuated all day on the second day . It is really hard to believe.
Undoubtedly, Gu Junhao's market crash left a deep impression on some retail investors, especially those in Taoguba, causing some people to be afraid to enter the market to take over the shares.
Judging from the comments in Taoguba, most of Gu Junhao’s fans firmly believe in the probability of a market correction after he liquidates his positions. So far, Gu Junhao has not failed.
"No, everyone who comes is a guest, welcome Miss Zhang; by the way, I forgot to congratulate Mr. Gu." Manager Wang didn't mind at all.
"Congratulations to me? Congratulations to me for what?"
"Haha, let Xiao Gu tell you. I'll excuse myself for a moment. Xiao Gu, please entertain Mr. Gu." Manager Wang left the question in suspense and walked away.
"It should be because Mr. Gu, your number of fans on Taoguba has exceeded 100,000. You may not know yet, but after you significantly reduced your holdings this time, the market has experienced a sharp correction, which has once again made you popular on Taoguba." Gu Manyi took over Lao Wang's topic and explained.
"100,000? Are there so many idle people in Taogu Bar?" Gu Junhao was a little surprised. He really didn't expect this. Then he said to Gu Manyi: "Sister Gu, just call me Xiao Gu."
"I wouldn't dare to do that now. Although I know you don't suggest it, I still have to consider other people's views." Today is different from the past. If I still shout "Little Gu Xiao Gu" now, and someone hears me, I will seem immature, after all, they are not that familiar with each other.
"There's nothing wrong with being approachable and modest; but you also need to slowly get used to your status. When your fund's net value is officially settled in the future, it will definitely be even more exaggerated than it is now."
After thinking for a while, he decided that it might not be appropriate for him to say these words, so he said to Zhang Yiru, "Xiao Gu originally came to me with 20,000 yuan to open an account, and also asked to open the Growth Enterprise Market. I can say that I have watched him grow, so I hope you don't mind if I give you a reminder without knowing your own limitations."
"No, we all know that Sister Gu meant well. Little Gu also said that it was you who helped him open his account on the Growth Enterprise Market." Zhang Yiru said with a smile.
"Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so I'll take you to find a place to play. I'll call you when everyone is here." Putting herself in her shoes, Gu Manyi also hated it when there was someone talking all the time around her boyfriend.
So she planned to give the young couple more private space. Sure enough, when she said this, their eyes lit up; needless to say, Zhang Yiru was the best. Gu Junhao planned to bring Zhang Yiru here because he heard that the exchange meeting would be held here.
There are a lot of things to do here. If it sounds boring, the two of them can leave early and play in this villa for two days.
"Okay, Sister Gu, please introduce her to us."
"Do you want to go fishing? If so, I'll ask the staff to get you fishing gear." I heard that all men's final destination is to become fishermen. I don't know if men of this age like it or not.
"Forget about fishing. It's so hot today and I don't want my arms to get sunburned." Gu Junhao looked at Zhang Yiru and said with a smile. If they went fishing, Zhang Yiru would be bored sitting next to them in the hot weather.
"I see. I'll find you a quiet and cool place."
Gu Manyi was also an experienced person, so how could she not understand the interaction between the two; she didn’t expect that this guy loved his girlfriend so much.
It was said to start at 10 o'clock, but everyone didn't arrive until around 11 o'clock. After all, it was not a formal meeting, and everyone came with more of a casual attitude, so it was normal to arrive late.
Only someone like Gu Junhao who had never experienced such a situation would arrive early. Although Manager Wang and Gu Manyi knew about it, it was not a good idea to point it out to them in person since they had already arrived.
After playing for more than an hour, the two were called to the venue by Gu Manyi. Gu Junhao also reacted and said to Zhang Yiru with some embarrassment: "So everyone came so late, I thought everyone was on time."
"It's okay. The facilities and environment here are good. We'll cover all the expenses today anyway, so just consider it as taking advantage of us. You're the one who said this. You should even take a few more barrels of oil." As she spoke, Gu Manyi also laughed. She thought back then, Gu Junhao really didn't let go of the company's oil and rice and actually moved away.
"It's okay. It's normal not to know the first time. You'll know later." Zhang Yiru didn't mind. She also knew about what Gu Manyi said about moving rice and oil. She was quite surprised at the time. She wondered how long it would take to eat so much.
But then Gu Junhao sent them to the welfare home, and used a very speechless reason: "If I give them to those leeks, they will only save money to replenish their positions for me to cut. I am doing a good thing for them by donating them to the welfare home in advance."
There were quite a few people at the venue, but Gu Junhao barely knew any of them. Others also didn't know the backgrounds of the two people led by the beautiful manager of the securities company. They only knew that they were too young.
Gu Junhao looked around and found two familiar faces, the second-generation rich Qin Junkai and Xu Dong. Qin Junkai was his original friend among the VIP clients and had helped him a lot. It can be said that he made an indelible contribution to the fund's opening up.
Xu Dong is the president of Xushen Company. He is a generous person and like-minded as well as Gu Junhao. Both of them are investors in Junshi No. 1.
"Brother Xu, Brother Qin, why are you here?" Gu Junhao walked up to them and said happily. He finally met some acquaintances, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for the two of them to be in this environment.
"Why can't I be here? I'm a VIP customer too." Qin Junkai and Gu Junhao are the most familiar with each other, so they don't care much when talking to each other.
"Oh, VIP, how much did you lose this week?" Gu Junhao's sharp tongue function was online again.
"Could you please stop bringing up irrelevant issues? Also, if you were reducing your holdings, at least tell me, brother. Are we still brothers?" Qin Junkai said unhappily. This really hit his sore spot.
"No, that won't work. Times are different now. If I ask you to reduce your holdings in private, you might get caught in insider information." Gu Junhao said with a smile. He would talk to Qin Junkai before when reducing his holdings, but this guy has pretty good ideas. He would listen to you if you agree with him, but never listen if you disagree. In his words, you have to understand the loss clearly.
Xu Dong looked at the two people playing and fighting with a smile on his face, without saying anything; the young man was in a good state; he also knew Qin Junkai, and their families had some connections, and he had met him before when Junshi Company opened.
After a while, Gu Junhao stopped and said to Xu Dong: "Brother Xu, Brother Qin, let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend Zhang Yiru."
"Hello Brother Xu, hello Brother Qin. I often hear Xiao Gu mention your care for him. Thank you very much." Zhang Yiru said sweetly.
"Hello, Xiao Zhang. Nice to meet you. But I don't have any gifts. I'll make it up to you after you get married. Haha."
"Your sister-in-law is very beautiful and has a good temperament. Xiao Gu is lucky. It seems that you have more than just good investment vision." Qin Junkai was right. With a career of her own, which is easy and stable, and a stable love life, Zhang Yiru's temperament is getting better and better.
"What do you mean by investment vision? I just have good luck. We are high school classmates." Gu Junhao retorted.
"Come on, I've never heard of an orphan with a lucky life." Qin Junkai didn't mind being sarcastic to Gu Junhao. He knew that Gu Junhao had a unique self-confidence and didn't mind others mentioning his life experience.
"That's hard to say. It depends on how you interpret the orphan thing. Maybe the Bodhisattva closed my door and was afraid that I would starve to death because I couldn't get out, so they took down the roof for me."
"Then you will be soaked to death if it rains." Qin Junkai retorted.
"When it rains, I have her. She is my umbrella holder." Gu Junhao said while holding Zhang Yiru's hand. This was also meant to comfort her. He was used to joking with Qin Junkai and knew that he had no ill intentions. However, Zhang Yiru was obviously a little nervous and it was difficult for her to refute him.
It was the first time that Zhang Yiru heard Gu Junhao say such sweet words in front of outsiders, and he boldly held her hand. She couldn't help but blush, but her heart was full of surprise.
If you savor these two sentences carefully, these two simple sentences are full of his understanding of life. Orphans are not something you can control, so you have to be more open-minded and treat them with an open mind; and the appearance of Zhang Yiru has added a touch of brightness to his life, so he has to cherish the people around him.
But once these words came out, even Xu Dong couldn't stand it: "Are you really a high school graduate? You have a lot of love words, where did you learn them? Do stocks teach this kind of thing?"
"Wow, this is so corny. Your reaction speed is pretty good, and it's so poetic." Qin Junkai said it was so corny that he couldn't stand it.
"Then hurry up and find a girlfriend. You're almost 30 and still single. Aren't you ashamed?"
"I'm only 25, okay? When will I be 30?"
"A man over 25 is considered to be approaching 30. You should settle the marriage issue as soon as possible, otherwise your uncle and aunt will be anxious."
"Alright, alright, stop joking around, you two. Xiao Gu, it's rare for you to come here, so I'll take you to meet some people. Xiao Qin, you can come along too, so be polite and stop smiling like a playboy." Seeing that the two were bickering, Xu Dong quickly stopped them.
Xu Dong was able to expand his business slowly, in addition to his hard work, he also had some connections. Gu Junhao usually stayed at home and rarely went out, and although everyone had heard of his name to some extent, not many people really knew him.
The two of them can be considered as friends regardless of age difference. There is no competition between them in business. If Gu Junhao develops well, he can form a certain complement with him, so Xu Dong does not mind being a middleman.
The morning time was basically a time for everyone to communicate with each other. Waves of people talked to each other and handed out business cards. Under the leadership of Xu Dong, Gu Junhao also received a lot of business cards and of course gave out a lot of them as well.
No one expected that the little stock god that everyone has been talking about recently is actually so young. He really deserves the word "little god". If you only look at his face, everyone will just think he is a college student who has not graduated yet. No one would have thought that such a young man could be so adept in the capital market.
"Brother Gu, when the next fund is issued, you must remember to bring your elder brother with you. You can't just bring Old Xu to make money. After all, I am also Xiao Zhang's relative, and my relationship with you is closer than that of Old Xu."
"Okay, okay. Since Mr. Zhang thinks highly of me, I will come to your doorstep to ask for your support next time. Also, if you have time, you are welcome to visit Junshi Capital. It's in the Financial Building." Gu, Lu and Zhang are very common surnames in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. You can meet one of them whenever you go out.
"Why call him Mr. Zhang? Call him Brother Zhang. You can call Old Xu Brother Xu. How can you look down on Old Zhang?"
"Okay, Brother Zhang."
Zhang Yiru felt very proud watching Gu Junhao handling things with ease among a group of people who were much older than him. Even Xu Dong couldn't help but sigh. Is the little Gu now really the same person as the little Gu just now?
"Could it be that all successful stock traders have two or more sides?" Qin Junkai couldn't help but ponder as he looked at Gu Junhao. He really couldn't do this.
Gu Junhao didn’t know what they were thinking, but even if he knew, he would say that they were thinking too much. People always change with the changes in the environment. Sometimes you have to change into what the environment requires you to become.
Perhaps this is also a kind of growth, which requires a certain price; but as long as you can stick to your original intention, this change is not a bad thing, nothing can remain unchanged.
The morning was spent in this kind of communication, eating and drinking. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the formal communication meeting began. The experts invited by the securities company spoke to everyone on the stage about various principles and analyses. The core idea was nothing more than one point: the bull market is coming!
"Is this expert reliable? Brother Zhou has lost 20%, and he told me that the bull market is coming?" Qin Junkai asked Gu Junhao in a low voice. The two sat in the same row, with Zhang Yiru on Gu Junhao's left.
"Reliable, listen carefully, this expert is more reliable than most experts." Gu Junhao said seriously. It's rare to have someone who dares to tell the truth. Although it is within a small range and there is no danger in being bullish, this kind of serious and detailed analysis is indeed very rare. Just listening to this passage, this exchange meeting is worth it.
"Is there really a bull market?" Xu Dong and Lao Zhang in the back row heard the two people talking and leaned over to listen. Lao Zhang couldn't help but ask.
“It depends on how you interpret the bull market, but in my opinion, there is definitely a localized bull market. I will not hide it from you. This is also the most important reason why I am eager to establish a fund.”
Gu Junhao didn't mind his remarks being spread. He had already built up his position anyway. The trend of the times was irreversible and would not change because of his remarks. Not everyone could make money in a bull market.
It is not a shameful thing to set up a fund before the bull market. It shows that you have vision, and it is something to be proud of when it is publicized.
"No wonder you were in such a hurry to set up a fund. I was wondering at the time, with just that little money, you might as well be a retail investor. Then tell us what your so-called bull market logic is." In Qin Junkai's opinion, instead of listening to the experts' nonsense, Gu Junhao is more reliable. Of course, the main reason is that he can't understand some of the experts' professional terms.
"Okay then, I'll just briefly explain it. I guess you, an expert, won't be able to understand it." Gu Junhao ruthlessly exposed Qin Junkai.
“Economic transformation, whether it is the stock market or the housing market, cannot escape the rain of the macro economy, they are all barometers of the economy. Now the Internet age has arrived, you can see that our mobile phones have been replaced with smartphones;
In addition to creating a huge market, the development of the Internet will also drive the upgrading and transformation of other industries. These developments will be reflected in the stock market, such as Wangsu Technology and Dafu Technology, which I previously invested in. Therefore, I think this round of bull market can be called the bull market of transformation. "
"There is another point that you may not know. From the end of May to the beginning of June, the stock market has actually undergone great changes. The trading volume is gradually increasing, and the margin trading balance in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets is slowly increasing. You have also traded stocks, so you should know what this means."
"Funds?" Qin Junkai asked.
"Yes, what is needed for stocks to rise? Logic and capital, both are indispensable; logic is the first point, macroeconomic development and transformation, policy support, and capital is the second point I mentioned. With these two points, is it difficult for stocks to rise?"
