Chapter 242: Hot Scene
"Haha, congratulations, Mr. Gu, the scale of the first fund will soon exceed 100 million." Xu Yan also reacted. Judging from Mr. Gu's attitude, he should have had some confidence in the fund's performance.
Other executives and Li Xinyu also expressed their congratulations, and Gu Junhao responded with a smile.
"Mr. Gu, you must be very confident in the fund's holdings, so you scheduled the fund launch in the first two trading days of early next month." Xu Yan said again.
"That's not the case. The reason for putting it at the beginning of next month is to give everyone more time to prepare. As for the performance, I've also looked at it in the past few days and basically have a rough idea of it."
"The stocks held here must be excellent. The growth rate from last week to this week is too high." Xu Yan exclaimed.
"Okay, the good performance is also due to the contribution of everyone here. Let's leave it at that for today and go home." Gu Junhao did not respond.
As for the trend of the fund's constituent stocks, Gu Junhao never talks about it in public, even to the company's senior executives.
Seeing that the boss had no intention of continuing the conversation, everyone tactfully left.
In fact, although Gu Junhao already looked like a boss, he was still somewhat uncomfortable with the flattery among executives.
In Gu Junhao's view , company operations still rely on specific data, performance and efficiency.
Commercial mutual promotion is naturally inevitable, but it should be avoided as much as possible.
Except Xu Jianqing. In Gu Junhao's opinion, Xu Jianqing is just like his silly friend. There is nothing wrong with them making fun of or praising each other.
What's more, Xu Jianqing's business ability is not bad.
…
Junshi No. 1's performance was also widely discussed on the last weekend of October, and even became a hot topic on Taoguba.
It has also generated considerable popularity on other social media. In a sense, this can be regarded as a way for Gu Junhao to break out of the circle.
Of course, all this is inseparable from the instigation of Shen Boyu and others. The fundraising rules of private equity funds cannot be publicized on a large scale.
However, certain effects can be achieved by promoting Junshi No. 1 and Gu Junhao himself.
Outstanding performance, young and handsome, only a high school education and the youngest active fund manager, this legendary experience is enough to make Junshi No. 1 and Gu Junhao himself a hot topic.
"You're famous now, Xiao Gu. Look, there are women who say they want to have children for you." Zhang Yiru said with a smile while looking at the comments under Junshi Capital's official website on a certain blog.
"She's just a normal celebrity, like an 18th-tier star. If she were really famous, some men would reply to her and ask if Ms. Gu minded men. Haha."
Gu Junhao responded with a smile. He was also browsing a certain blog on his phone and didn't care much about these comments.
In a few days, or even after this weekend, these people will find someone else to give birth to a child.
"Why is the publicity mostly focused on me personally? Shouldn't it be focused on the fund's performance?"
Gu Junhao seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that the company's public relations focused on promoting itself, and that it should focus more on the fund's performance.
"You should also understand them. It's rare that the boss is willing to spend money on publicity, so isn't it normal to flatter him?
Besides, there’s nothing wrong with promoting yourself. Isn’t that how all those star fund managers get their positions? ”
"Okay, let's leave it at that. It's too late to change it, but we still have to remind them that our customer base is business owners and big customers, not those stupid netizens on the Internet."
Afterwards, Gu Junhao issued instructions to the company's senior executives regarding this issue.
For big investors, performance is what they care about most. As for the rest, star fund managers are useless to them if they cannot make money.
…
It was eight o'clock in the morning on the first working day of November in late autumn, and it was not yet the specific working time.
Junshi Capital, located in Beicang Financial Building, has already attracted countless wealthy large investors. Among these people, some are investors of Junshi No. 1, and some are new faces.
Judging from the crowd on site, the subscription for Junshi No. 2 was more popular than expected.
When Gu Junhao arrived at the company at 8:30, he saw quite a few people waiting in the lounge area. After greeting the customers, Gu Junhao left the lounge area and began to convene company executives to prepare for the official sale of the fund.
In fact, there was no need for Gu Junhao's call. Everyone generally went to work earlier today. Xu Jianqing and the other two still arrived at the company early as usual.
And Li Xinyu also came to the company before eight o'clock, which was unprecedented. Last week was a very busy week for her.
"Thank you for your hard work. It will be fine after these two days." Gu Junhao said to Li Xinyu when he came to the office and looked at her busy body.
"Boss, don't just make empty promises. Remember to be practical. I worked overtime on a voluntary basis last weekend and got up at six o'clock today." Li Xinyu said mischievously.
"Get up after six? You don't live far away, do you?"
"Don't wear makeup. Boss, you have a girlfriend, so why would you ask such a question?"
Gu Junhao took a look at the delicate makeup on Li Xinyu's face and replied with a smile: "Not bad, the company's image depends on you."
At nine o'clock, after half an hour of preparation, Junshi Capital officially started selling Junshi Fund No. 2. The entire public area of the company was packed with employees and investors who came after hearing the news.
The big households were just like the aunties picking up eggs at the supermarket entrance; no one cared about the crowdedness of the space and the scene was extremely busy.
Although the scene was bustling, it was well-ordered. The big investors still had some manners. Everyone lined up in a friendly manner, waiting for the signing of the subscription contract.
At ten o'clock in the morning, with the enthusiastic subscription of investors, the sales shares of Junshi Fund No. 2 exceeded 50 million yuan, and the average subscription shares of each investor were more than 3 million yuan.
In just one hour, the sales of Junshi No. 2 exceeded the original issuance scale of Junshi No. 1. Under each subscription contract, millions and tens of millions of funds continued to flow into the custodial account of Junshi No. 2 fund products.
At 11:30 a.m., during the lunch period, Junshi No. 2 suspended its sales. According to statistics, in the two and a half hours since the sale started, the fund's subscription shares exceeded 200 million yuan, and the average subscription shares per investor reached 4 million yuan.
"Ah, it's almost half of the total size. If we keep doing this for another two hours in the afternoon, won't it be almost sold out?" Xu Jianqing shouted excitedly after hearing the statistical data.
Today, Gu Junhao also asked the three of them to help. Fund subscription is a big deal, but Junshi No. 1, which has not been traded for a day or two, is not a big deal.
Xu Jianqing's shout also made the investors present realize that the subscription for Junshi No. 2 would most likely end today. If they couldn't get on board today, they wouldn't be able to buy it!
"Hey, little girl, please order some takeout for me too, so I won't go out to eat." An investor who was afraid of missing the queue stopped Li Xinyu who was about to contact the administration department to arrange lunch.
"Don't worry, we have prepared food for lunch and won't let you go hungry." Li Xinyu also responded with a smile.
As the news that Junshi No. 1 had been sold for nearly half of the morning came out at lunch time, business owners and big investors who were originally dissatisfied with the setting of the threshold and planned to wait and see could no longer sit still.
It seems that if I don’t rush over today, I might completely lose this opportunity. It is rare for such an excellent fund manager to appear in Beicang.
For a moment, everyone had no time to eat lunch and rushed to Junshi Capital in the Financial Building.
More and more people rushed to Junshi Capital, which caused the entire office area to be completely overcrowded, and even the elevator seemed a bit crowded.
Someone at the scene took a photo of the scene and posted it on WeChat Moments, captioning, "Do you feel the charm of wealth? These are all bosses with a starting net worth of several million."
This screenshot of the circle of friends also circulated on the Internet during the release of Junshi No. 2 in the afternoon. Compared with last weekend, Gu Junhao's popularity has further increased.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, after a break of one and a half hours, Junshi No. 2 was opened for sale simultaneously in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets.
The pace in the afternoon was obviously much faster than in the morning, all because the morning's issuance exceeded the expectations of major investors.
The big investors who originally planned to invest only 2 million yuan also temporarily increased their investment amounts after seeing such a hot scene.
This is no different from the retail investors in the market who chase after rising prices and sell when prices fall. Big investors also have the same human nature.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sales of Junshi No. 2 exceeded 300 million yuan, and at three o'clock, the sales shares of Junshi No. 2 Fund exceeded 400 million yuan.
The number of investors on site did not decrease much; and Junshi No. 2 had less than 100 million yuan left.
It is destined that many people will return empty-handed.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, five and a half hours after the official opening of subscription for Junshi No. 2, 500 million shares were sold out.
From this moment on, Junshi No. 2 officially entered the closed period and cannot be redeemed until the open period.
"One step late, every step late. I wanted to , but I didn't expect it to be so popular. The pattern is still too small."
"Hey, who says it's not true? There are really a lot of rich people, and many of them come from other places."
After returning home disappointed, two familiar investors couldn't help but sigh to each other, "500 million! This isn't just V50. It was all gone in more than five hours."
The crazy crowd who subscribed also made the two of them fully realize the charm of capital.
All the shares were sold out in five and a half hours. Although this is not a big record in the fund industry, it is extremely exciting for all the employees of Junshi Capital.
This was the year 2014, when the market had just recovered from the bear market.
The popularity of the fund not only means the popularity of the company's products, but also reduces one's workload; there is no need to be so busy tomorrow.
Xu Jianqing was excited, his fists clenched tightly, and his expression could not hide his excitement. The same was true for Liu Tingting, Li Xinyu and others.
After the subscribers gradually dispersed and the bank's fund supervisors left, Xu Jianqing could no longer conceal his excitement and howled wildly.
For a moment, the young employees led by Xu Jianqing began to get excited. This moment was also worth remembering for them.
Zhou Kai, the funny guy in the market intelligence department, jumped onto the workbench, took off his coat and waved it around.
Gu Junhao looked at the crazy crowd with a faint smile on his face; and Zhang Yiru stood beside him.
Zhang Yiru appeared at Junshi Capital today as a family member to witness the launch of Junshi No. 2; so she did not evacuate with the bank staff.
