My Side Job is a Trader

At ten o'clock the next morning, Zhang Xin and Wang Shen came to Pudong Sansheng Plaza to meet and chat with fund manager candidates.

While the two were drinking coffee and waiting, a man in his thirties came in. When he entered the door, he looked around first, and then walked straight up to the two of them.

"Matrix investment?"

Zhang Xin looked at him and asked, "Are you Mr. Sun?"

"Yes, my name is Sun Qiang."

Wang Shen got up and gave him his seat, and sat next to Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin introduced: "Mr. Sun, hello, I am Zhang Xin from Matrix Investment, and this is my partner Wang Shen. I am very sorry to bother Mr. Sun for an hour today."

Wang Shen motioned the waiter for another cup of coffee.

Sun Qiang said: "It's not a nuisance, I just want to see the opportunity."

Because of his practice, Zhang Xin's memory has greatly increased, and he can hardly forget it. He recalled what he saw about Sun Qiang's work experience, so he said: "Mr. Sun has very rich experience in fund management, which is exactly What our company needs, Fengling Capital, which Mr. Sun presided over, has invested in medium and large Internet companies such as Penguin and Wangyi, and it can be said that it has achieved outstanding results."

Sun Qiang said modestly: "Wherever it is, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it."

Zhang Xin nodded, and then didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "I believe the headhunter has already told you about our requirements and the salary we offer, so we won't go around the corner anymore. Is there any chance for us to cooperate?"

Sun Qiang didn't expect Zhang Xin to be so straightforward, and it could even be said that he didn't follow the routine. Normally, when he chatted with others, he would flatter each other, and then he would ask some questions on the sidelines. Like Zhang Xin, he directly cut to the point This is the first time I have encountered it.

Sun Qiang was stunned for a moment, realizing that the young boss was not a stickler.

"The conditions offered by your company really moved me, but as far as I know, your company seems to have been established for less than a year, right?"

Wang Shen asked: "Does Mr. Sun have any concerns? You can directly raise them."

"I want to know if your company has sound departments, such as investment department, risk control department, personnel department, etc."

Zhang Xin replied: "I know Mr. Sun's concerns. After all, compared with your current Tianhe Fund, matrix investment is like a baby. But Mr. Sun, don't worry too much. At present, our company is still in the process of setting up except for the risk control department. , the other departments already exist.”

"Is there no risk control department? Then you didn't need risk control and supervision before?"

Zhang Xin and Wang Shen looked at each other, and explained embarrassingly: "Before, we only did securities investment, and the risk control was controlled by the two of us, so we were not in a hurry to form it."

Sun Qiang also understood the two of them. After all, the risk control of many small fund companies is often presided over by fund managers, and Matrix Investment is not yet a fund company.

"Then you contacted me because your company also has a development plan to establish a fund?"

Zhang Xin replied: "Yes, it is too simple to only do securities investment business. My goal is to develop Matrix into a company with a pivotal position in the industry, so this requires us to expand the scope of business and increase the number of industries Influence."

Zhang Xin didn't hide his ambition at all, and Sun Qiang didn't feel disgusted at all when he heard it. After all, the more ambitious Zhang Xin was, the stronger the demand for talents, and the more valuable he was.

In order to persuade Sun Qiang to join the company, Zhang Xin deliberately revealed the company's gains in securities investment in the past six months. Sun Qiang was surprised on the spot. According to the information disclosed by Zhang Xin, the investment rate of return of the matrix in half a year has reached an astonishing 300%, if it is said, it will definitely cause shocks in the industry.

Sun Qiang knew the development potential of Matrix, but he still hesitated in his heart. He was in the original company, at least his income was guaranteed, and he switched to Matrix. Although the salary has improved, he is not sure how long Matrix can last. He has a family People who spend a lot of money, if they don't choose the right path, the consequences may be serious.

"Can I think about it first? I can't make a decision right now."

Zhang Xin said: "Of course, if Mr. Sun has made a decision, no matter whether he is willing to accept our invitation or not, I hope he can call me and let me know. Even if there is no cooperation, then we can still be friends in private. There is an opportunity to cooperate."

After Zhang Xin finished speaking, he took out a postcard and put it on the table.

Sun Qiang picked up the postcard. The postcard was very concise, with only a name and mobile phone number, and nothing else.

After Sun Qiang left, Wang Shen asked, "Daxian, how is it? How likely do you think this person is to join our company?"

Zhang Xin didn't speak immediately, but recalled the slight expression on Sun Qiang's face, and said, "He should be moved, but he may have other concerns, so whether he will join the company or not, I'm not sure he will definitely come."

Before the coffee was finished, Zhang Xin got up and said, "Master, you go back to the company first, and I will go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to handle the expansion of the company's business scope."

In the next few days, both Zhang Xin and Wang Shen obtained the fund qualification certificates, and Zhang Xin has already applied for a private equity fund license to the Asset Management Association in the name of Matrix Investment, and applied for all four licenses in one go. over again.

With the backing of China Asset Management, the license application went very smoothly, and the feedback was also very fast.

On Friday, Sun Qiang finally called. He agreed to join Matrix Investment, but he needed to work with Tianhe Fund first.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Xin saw the information that Sun Qiang submitted his resignation application on the official website of Tianhe Fund.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Xin went to Hongqiao Railway Station to pick up Li Xueer. The two agreed that this week Li Xueer would come to Shanghai to accompany Zhang Xin for the weekend.

It happened that Zhang Xin still had two concert tickets presented by the Bank of Communications, so it was rare for Zhang Xin and Li Xueer not to lie on the bed doing shameful things on Saturday.

It was also through a concert that Li Xueer discovered that apart from Zhang Xin's height, there is another shortcoming. For example, Zhang Xin basically knows nothing about music.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Zhang Xin, because his family was poor, struggled even to go to school since he was a child, not to mention that he had spare money to enroll him in classes to learn musical instruments.

And because the school music teacher often "asked for leave" tactically when he was in school, Zhang Xin didn't know a single musical instrument. Even if he sat in the auditorium, at most he thought the music was good. Xin could only hem and haw and couldn't answer.

Li Xueer finally felt that she had also won one aspect. After all, Zhang Xin's performance was almost perfect before, and sometimes it made her feel like she was living in a dream.
