Chapter 60 Business Plan
Nothing happened that night. When Gu Junhao woke up the next day, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. On every weekend, Gu Junhao would turn off the alarm clock and let himself sleep a little longer, especially now that the weather is still relatively cold. It is really comfortable to sleep in in this kind of weather.
On ordinary trading days, although you don’t have to rush to get up early like you do for work, you still need to get up around eight o’clock to check some overnight news and the direction of the external markets before the market opens. These are still necessary.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, he heard a knock on the door. Gu Junhao came to his senses and realized it must be Zhang Yiru. After giving the car to Zhang Yiru, she started to come to Gu Junhao's place frequently. Sometimes she would bring some food after get off work and they would cook together.
The place where Gu Junhao rented had facilities for cooking. He was an orphan in his previous life, so it was not surprising that he could cook. However, he had not cooked much since he traveled through time, and it was too troublesome for him to do it alone.
"Why are you here so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? It's not even ten o'clock yet." Gu Junhao asked as he opened the door.
"I couldn't sleep, so I got up and went to the market to buy some fresh seafood. You can take care of it later." Zhang Yiru handed the bag in her hand to Gu Junhao.
"Okay, I'll wash up first." After a while , Gu Junhao finished washing up and came to the kitchen. They began to prepare the ingredients together. Most people in Beicang started to eat lunch at 11 o'clock, which is much earlier than other places. However, since Gu Junhao became a full-time stock trader, he changed it to after 11:30.
I got up late today, so I'm going to prepare some ingredients and have breakfast and lunch, which will solve two meals at once.
Men and women work together and the work is not tiring. After a while, three dishes and a soup were served on the table. The two of them ate and chatted about topics of all sizes, from their work experiences to some celebrity gossip. They also talked about stock trading, a topic that the two of them could never avoid.
"The Shanghai Composite Index has been hovering around 2,000 points, and the ChiNext Index has been falling. You think there will be a big bull market?" Zhang Yiru asked, "What you said is unlikely, right? Domestic inflation and last year's cash shortage have eased somewhat this year, but it's not so easy to recover immediately. You saw our manager's attitude the last time you went to deposit money."
"For the stock price to go up, or for the bull market you mentioned, it requires a huge amount of funds to drive it. Where does this money come from?"
"It seems that my college studies were not in vain. I now know these things. Then do you know what is the basis for determining the bull and bear markets?" Gu Junhao said with a smile.
"Go to hell, at least I never failed a course in college." Zhang Yiru knocked Gu Junhao's bowl with chopsticks and said, "Then Gu Gu, please tell me what is the basis for determining whether the stock market is bullish or bearish. I want to hear your opinion."
“Money is definitely an important factor in determining whether the stock market is bullish or bearish, but it is not the most important factor. It is the expectation for the future. The market is indeed short of money, but it has never been short of money. As long as there is an expectation, the money will come naturally.”
After a pause, Gu Junhao continued, "Moreover, the global economy is gradually getting rid of the impact of the financial crisis and is slowly getting better. This is an expectation, coupled with the large-scale popularization of smartphones and the prospects of mobile Internet."
"To make an inappropriate analogy, you can imagine the overall stock market as a stock. With such fundamental changes and good expectations for the future, there is no worry that the stock market will not rise. In addition, the ChiNext has risen so much last year, the money-making effect has been opened, and there is no worry that off-market funds will not enter the market."
Capital always comes by smelling something. As long as you make it feel that there is an opportunity to make a profit, it will flock to it. This is true all over the world, so funding issues are never a problem. In simple terms, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Listening to Gu Junhao's analysis, Zhang Yiru fell silent. He had to admit that what Gu Junhao said made some sense. Stock trading was all about speculating on expectations, just like what he had done before with Zhongqingbao and Wangsu Technology. They were all speculations based on expectations when the fundamentals of an industry changed.
Moreover, the ChiNext has actually entered a bull market. The index has more than doubled in one year. There are many related popular concept stocks that have increased tenfold or fivefold, and there are even more stocks that have doubled. If such a market is not called a bull market, then what is a bull market?
"I feel more and more that it's a pity that you didn't go to college. Since you have determined that there is a bull market here, what do you think? Do you have any plans for yourself?" Zhang Yiru stared at Gu Junhao and said.
"I plan to set up a private equity firm after I finish trading this stock. Do you remember the headhunter who approached me before? I plan to ask him to help me recruit some people."
"Private equity? How much assets can you raise? Although you are a little famous now, it is still difficult for others to trust you and invest money in you, right?"
"Everything depends on human effort. How can we know if it works if we don't try? Even if the fundraising fails, I won't lose much. At most, I can continue to be a retail investor and make money secretly. But I think if we can raise tens of millions of funds, there should still be a chance."
After hearing Gu Junhao's plan, Zhang Yiru was a little stunned. No wonder he had obtained the fund practitioner qualification certificate before. This was to prepare for the next step. He had thought it through quite thoroughly.
"Then what can I do? How about I go work for you after your private placement is established?"
"That's fine with me, but are you willing to give up your stable working environment to work in a small startup like mine? The risks are much higher."
"What's wrong with that? At worst you can support me. But what can I do? I'm not that good at stock trading." Zhang Yiru felt a little conflicted when she thought of this.
Seeing Zhang Yiru's expression, Gu Junhao also smiled: "It's still early. It will take at least a few months for me to finish this stock. It will be June or July before it is established. But if you really want to quit your job to help me, I suggest you discuss it with Teacher Zhang and the others."
After hearing what Gu Junhao said, Zhang Yiru was also stunned... That's right, she is going to be converted to a regular employee soon, and if she resigns, she will have to discuss it with her parents. This is not just her own business.
What she didn't expect was that Xiao Gu had even considered this. He was completely different from the big boy she remembered from high school. The previous Xiao Gu was hardworking and motivated, but also followed the rules.
The little Gu in front of me is mature, calm, and careful. He dares to step out of his comfort zone and strives to create his own path.
Of course, she still prefers the current little Gu classmate to the one in her previous memory...
