On Monday, Si Mingyu, who was in class, received a message from Jiang Xueyi asking him to go to the investment company this afternoon to meet the relevant person in charge.
Although he now has a lot of assets under his name, whether it is shares in Penguin Bank or China Merchants Bank, he only has the right to dividends because of the agreement on joint action.
It's true that he has money now, but if he wants to spend it on personal expenses, he won't be able to invest it to make money. This investment company is specifically responsible for managing his income and ensuring the appreciation of his assets.
The investment company, called Dongshen Wealth, is located on the 7th floor of the Shanghai World Financial Center in the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. It operates as a private equity fund, investing in whatever makes money.
The company had three shareholders. The largest shareholder was Gu Shuanghui, an old friend of Si Mingyu's father, who held 51%. The second largest shareholder was Wang Jianguo, a wealthy man in the capital, who held 29%. The remaining 20% belonged to Si Mingyu.
Investment companies test the abilities of professional investors, not labor-intensive industries. Consequently, the company has fewer than twenty people, and the staff is often understaffed. After all, as long as you can make money, you can work from a beach in Hainan without anyone noticing.
Walk out of the elevator, turn left, and you'll arrive about ten meters later. The glass door faces the front desk, where a pretty young lady in work clothes sits. Behind her is the company's image wall, with the four large characters "Dongshen Fortune" standing out prominently.
Seeing Si Mingyu come in, she immediately stood up and asked, "Hello, welcome to Dongshen Wealth Investment Company. How can I help you?"
"My name is Si Mingyu, and I have an appointment with Mr. Song." The meeting was arranged by the major shareholder Gu Shuanghui. Before coming, Si Mingyu called the company manager Song Yanming.
Because it was a formal meeting, he wore an Armani casual suit today. Coupled with long-term exercise and etiquette training, he has shed his student's childishness and has a sense of elegance.
"Mr. Si, please ask me to come. President Song is already waiting for you in the office." The receptionist had received the notice long ago. She smiled and stretched out her hand to guide him, then led the way with an elegant gait.
The receptionist's looks and figure were a perfect 7.5, especially her long, straight legs in black stockings. But that's perfectly normal; the private equity firm's reception desk is a mere decoration, barely receiving a single customer for days. Furthermore, the work environment is good, the salary is decent, and she has five social insurances and one housing fund, working from 9 am to 8 pm and leaving every other day off. It's a typical example of a high paycheck for a low paycheck.
More importantly, the benefits are good. Since there are so few people, no one is left behind when traveling. If employees have some idle funds, they can entrust the company to invest them, which is like the company giving you money for free.
The so-called entrusted investment is not to trick employees into taking money. The company does not look down on your small amount of money. There is a limit and you cannot invest more even if you want to. After all, it is a sure profit.
Of course, investing is not guaranteed to yield profits, and no investment advisor or manager would dare to claim that. However, the company will diversify its investments into various projects or stocks, allowing for both gains and losses as long as the overall returns are maintained.
But the key lies in the second-largest shareholder, Wang Jianguo. He frequently offers insider information, and nine out of ten investments are guaranteed to be profitable. This is why a company with fewer than 20 employees was able to choose the World Financial Center as their office location, renting a 500-square-meter space.
So in this case, when hiring a receptionist, shouldn’t you choose one that looks good?
After entering the company, the first thing you see is a reception area with sofas, a water bar, and a pool table. Employees can enjoy a variety of tea, drinks, snacks, and fruits, which are replenished at any time.
Then there is a corridor leading to the general manager's office and the shareholder's office. On the left side of the corridor is the senior investment advisor's separate office, and on the right is a large office and conference room.
The door was not closed. The receptionist knocked a few times and announced, "Mr. Song, Mr. Si is here."
"Mr. Si, please come in." Song Yanming, who was sitting behind the boss's desk, quickly stood up and came forward to greet him. He was in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing rimless glasses, and he looked like a financial elite.
"Hello, Mr. Song." Si Mingyu also took two quick steps forward to shake hands with him.
Song Yanming warmly invited Si Mingyu to sit on the large sofa next to him, while he sat across from him. The receptionist served tea at the right moment.
"Mr. Si, I've heard of you for a long time. This is the first time we meet today. I didn't expect you to be so young and promising." Song Yanming said this as a deliberate compliment. Si Mingyu's age was clearly written in the shareholder information.
"Mr. Song, you are too polite. The company is under the responsibility of you and everyone else, and with Uncle Gu and Uncle Wang at the helm, I'll just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor." The other party tried to say something nice, so Si Mingyu naturally spoke politely as well.
"Besides, Mr. Song, you are so much older than me, so you can just call me by my name."
"Then I'll be generous. How about you call me Uncle Song and I call you nephew?"
"good!"
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Song Yanming introduced the company's situation to Si Mingyu.
He and other people in the company were financial elites hired through formal channels. They were all ordinary people and knew nothing about Si Mingyu's special identity. They only knew that his father and major shareholder Gu Shuanghui were old friends, and now that they had an accident, Si Mingyu naturally inherited the inheritance.
Si Mingyu also stated that he was here as a shareholder to get to know everyone, and that all company matters would be decided by the uncles. He knew what Song Yanming was most concerned about, fearing that his young and ignorant son would get involved and lose money, so he made it clear directly.
Song Yanming was very happy with Si Mingyu's frankness. He did not see the domineering attitude of a rich second-generation man in him, but was very humble and polite.
In terms of ability, Song Yanming is only at the second-tier level in the elite-gathering Magic City, but because he has inside information from Wang Jianguo, he has made huge profits in various major financial investment markets. Not only is he well-known in the industry, but he also earns a large amount of commissions and dividends. Therefore, he is very satisfied with his current situation.
Of course, although the company has billions of funds at its disposal, it is insignificant compared to the entire China, let alone the Magic City. Therefore, although it has made considerable profits, it has not aroused any suspicion from its peers.
Song Yanming declined the olive branches extended by other financial institutions, saying that his abilities were limited and he could only manage a few billion yuan at most, and any more would be beyond his capacity. However, this earned him a good reputation in the industry for knowing when to advance and when to retreat.
In fact, he knew that without the inside information, he could only make a small profit. Wouldn't it be better to stay here and make a fortune quietly?
As long as Si Mingyu doesn't give blind orders, the company's profitability will be fine.
