Chapter 388: Secretary Wang's Perspective
Next is the formal research trip.
The next morning, Gu Junhao held a simple arrangement meeting in the hotel and divided the team into two groups to save time.
The team was led by Liu Tingting to investigate the relevant data of some local suppliers and related companies, while Gu Junhao himself took a few people to the headquarters of the wine distribution company.
The series of pre-processing procedures had been discussed with the company's securities department beforehand. Although it was the weekend, the time had already been scheduled.
During the peak research period, it is very common for fund managers to conduct research on weekends. Large listed companies have become accustomed to this and there is no such thing as overtime.
After arriving at the company, the secretary of the board of directors was responsible for receiving Gu Junhao and his party. After confirming their identities and signing the letter of commitment, the formal research trip began.
A letter of commitment refers to a letter that a listed company is required to sign after direct communication with research institutions and individuals. If they subsequently violate the commitment, spread false information , or speculate on the company's stock price, they will be held responsible under relevant laws.
This is also an effective measure to safeguard the rights and interests of listed companies. For specific reference templates, please refer to the "Guidelines for Self-Discipline of Listed Companies - Standardized Operations" and "Guidelines for Self-Discipline of Listed Companies No. 1 - Business Processing".
"Mr. Gu is really young and promising. Your name is the most frequently heard I didn't expect that you are even younger than I imagined."
After Gu Junhao signed the letter of commitment and stood up, the secretary surnamed Wang who was responsible for receiving Gu Junhao spoke to him with admiration in his eyes.
"No, Mr. Wang, you are my senior. I don't deserve your praise. Just call me Little Gu." Gu Junhao said modestly.
He has to be humble. Unlike the general secretaries of junk companies who just find someone to fool around, this man was born in 1967, has a bachelor's degree and the title of senior political worker.
After obtaining the board secretary qualification certificate in January last year, he took up the position of board secretary of Fenjiu in March.
Prior to that, he had been working in the Wine Distribution Group since 1987. During the past 29 years, he had held many important positions in the Wine Distribution Group and was a real talent.
When others started working, Gu Junhao was not even born yet. Why is he so arrogant in front of others? Gu Junhao doesn't know much about the levels in the system, but looking at this secretary who is in his fifties but still full of energy, he thinks his status should be not low.
Honestly speaking, Gu Junhao was somewhat surprised by the treatment he received this time. Although according to the rules, there was no problem with the secretary of the board of directors receiving guests, this person was no ordinary secretary of the board of directors. He had actually sent a representative to contact him yesterday.
Although he currently has a small fortune and is considered popular in the fund circle, somewhat similar to the popular young stars, but in front of the real people, he is nothing. Gu Junhao is very clear about this.
"Mr. Gu is too modest. Although I don't know how to trade stocks, I know that this thing is illegal and there is no element of speculation. It is quite remarkable that the younger generation has a figure like Mr. Gu."
"No, no, I just happened to be in luck. As the saying goes, heroes are made by the times, and it's probably people like me who catch the wind." Gu Junhao still replied modestly.
"Times make heroes, well said. What do you think of the relationship between finance and the real economy?"
Gu Junhao was stunned. He didn't expect this person to ask such a question as soon as they met. However, considering his age, career resume and the series of positions he held, this question was normal.
In fact, based on his qualifications, he is indeed qualified to ask Gu Junhao this question.
A popular fund manager bought his own stocks and started researching. He was still very young. What if he was planning to hype them up and then run away?
However, when faced with this question, Gu Junhao can answer it calmly: "The essence of finance is naturally to serve the real economy. Through the circulation of funds, it drives the development of economy, employment and even technology, and truly serves the society. This is the real meaning of finance, not cutting leeks."
"Mr. Gu, do you really think so?" Director Wang looked at Gu Junhao with some surprise. Was this young man just using official language to fool him or did he really think so?
Judging from his eyes, he doesn't seem to be fooling himself. After much experience in society and the system, Lao Wang can still distinguish the truth from the lies.
"Of course, whether it's true or not depends on actions. I still have a long way to go, so please wait and see, Mr. Wang."
"Haha, that's right, Mr. Gu is right, everything depends on action."
Then, he changed the subject: "Mr. Gu, do you want to take a tour first or arrange a research meeting?"
"It's up to the host to decide, but if it's convenient, could you take us to visit the workshop? I'm a little curious about brewing and have never seen these things." Gu Junhao said.
I have read a lot of online novels in my previous life. The essential magic weapon for time travelers to ancient times is to make white wine. To be honest, Gu Junhao really doesn't know how to do this.
Theoretical knowledge is one thing, but getting started may not be the same. If I really traveled back to ancient times, someone like me who doesn’t have a good understanding of some basic knowledge of agricultural society would probably not survive more than three episodes.
"It's convenient. There's no inconvenience at all. Please go ahead, Mr. Gu. I'll take you to have a look." Lao Wang nodded and nodded secretly in his heart.
"There is something. The first stop of the investigation is the workshop. It seems that the preparations have been done well."
A group of people came to the factory. Although today was Sunday, there were still some people working in the factory. Maybe they were on leave or for other reasons. But in short, no matter what kind of enterprise it is, it is impossible for all employees in a large factory to have a holiday on one day. The workshop must be kept running.
It is said that the civil engineers on the construction site work 365 days a year without a break. Before officially resigning to trade stocks, Gu Junhao had also seen these conditions and was not surprised.
When they arrived at the workshop, Gu Junhao looked very carefully, but in Lao Wang's opinion, the young man was more curious and did not understand any technology.
But what he didn't know was that Gu Junhao had asked Li Yaohui, who was accompanying him, to privately inquire about the company's employee benefits.
As a full-time driver, Li Yaohui did not follow Gu Junhao and his team into the workshop, but wandered around the factory and interacted with some ordinary employees.
Of course, this kind of casual movement is within the permitted scope and does not involve any company confidential matters.
Gu Junhao would never do something like the chairman personally climbing over the wall and entering the workshop to steal the competitor's technology.
It is more appropriate to hand it over to Li Yaohui. As Gu Junhao's full-time driver, his personality is different from that of ordinary veterans. He is more outgoing and has no difficulty in dealing with people.
Another thing is that Lai Yiu-fai is from the north himself, and compared to people like Gu Junhao who grew up in the south, he knows better how to deal with northerners.
This is why Gu Junhao took Li Yaohui out for a stroll last night. When it comes to eating noodles, we northerners have to look up to us.
After a while, Li Yaohui came in leisurely and whispered something to Gu Junhao.
Then, Gu Junhao smiled and said to Director Wang: "Director Wang, the treatment of ordinary employees in your company is quite good."
"Ah? What do you mean?" Old Wang looked at Gu Junhao with some surprise, and then looked at the tall Li Yaohui next to him, as if he understood something.
"Oh, my driver couldn't stay idle, so I just wandered around and chatted with ordinary employees and security guards of your company, and the conversation turned to salary."
Security guards earn 1,500 yuan, front-line production workers earn around 3,000 yuan, plus some hidden benefits of state-owned enterprises, so Gu Junhao doesn't know much about the average salary of ordinary workers in the industry.
In addition, the liquor industry has been in a trough in recent years. In a small county with a population of less than 400,000, this salary is not very high, but it is definitely reasonable.
After hearing what Gu Junhao said, Old Wang knew what he was talking about. He pointed at Gu Junhao and said with a smile, "Young man, you have no moral principles. You attacked me, an old man."
Gu Junhao also smiled. The real research was not on his side. He was just a cover. Besides, in the past few years, it didn’t matter to him whether to conduct the research or not.
After finishing his morning trip to the workshop, Gu Junhao had lunch in the workers’ canteen; of course, the food was much more sumptuous than what ordinary workers ate.
Gu Junhao did not behave in a particularly different way and did not insist on eating the same meals as ordinary workers. There was no need for that. He came here to conduct research, not to pretend to be close to the people.
The cultural differences between the north and the south are also reflected at the dinner table. Unlike the delicacy of the south, it is not an exaggeration to describe the north as eating large pieces of meat and drinking from large bowls.
When you are away from home, whether for work or travel, the main purpose is to experience the local culture and food styles that are different from other places.
Lao Wang accompanied Gu Junhao throughout the morning, giving him enough face; at the same time, he also got to know the young fund manager to a certain extent.
Compared with some other fund managers who came to conduct research, Gu Junhao did not talk much. Instead, he seemed a bit taciturn.
But every time he asked a question, he was able to hit the point, leaving Lao Wang with the impression that this person had a maturity different from his peers. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for his success.
As for personal character, Gu Junhao gives people the feeling that he is full of youthful vigor, but he is also extremely humble and very comfortable to get along with.
Lao Wang saw this by observing how Gu Junhao got along with his assistant and other accompanying staff.
Subordinates can joke with Gu Junhao at will, but if they talk about serious matters, they will obey him unconditionally. His authority is very high.
He has excellent personal abilities, is easy-going yet authoritative, and is not as sharp as young people but is still energetic. This was the first impression Gu Junhao left on Lao Wang.
