rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 501 Do you understand finance?

"Your job from now on is besides helping me sort out the reports of the other three subsidiaries."

"We should also pay attention to these farms."

"You just need to do these things well and report to me every day when I have free time."

"There is no need to come to my place on time every day and wait. I don't even know what time I get up!"

"If necessary, I will naturally inform you in advance."

At the dinner table at the farmhouse, Chen Li looked at Secretary Zhang who was holding a bowl of hot chicken soup and drinking it.

In fact, Chen Li wanted to laugh in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to laugh out loud.

This eldest sister. Chen Li reminded her to go back and change clothes before, but this secretary refused to listen.

Then we came to the chicken farm and almost froze into quail.

And it doesn't matter if he wears the wrong clothes. Chen Li can just give him a warning later, but Chen Li just learned from Master Cheng that this secretary arrived at Chen Li's community earlier than he, the driver.

This time, Master Cheng arrived at the community where Chen Li lives at 7:30, and this secretary was even earlier.

Well~this is actually the result of different working habits and styles!

When Secretary Zhang worked for Zhou Bowen before, he naturally had his own working habits.

At that time, Secretary Zhang actually stayed with Zhou Bowen most of the time, which was actually one of the responsibilities of the secretary position.

After all, the secretary is supposed to handle all the affairs of the leader, and it is the most basic duty to follow the leader.

But it is obvious that Chen Li, the boss, and Zhou Bowen, the CEO of the real estate company, are completely different in terms of work habits and styles.

Zhou Bowen was one of the first batch of wealthy businessmen in China, so he was very diligent in his work style.

As Zhou Bowen's secretary, Secretary Zhang actually has to be even busier in order to adapt to Zhou Bowen's work habits.

I wake up earlier than Zhou Bowen every day and go to bed later than Zhou Bowen. I even have to complete various tasks assigned by Zhou Bowen every day.

It is precisely because Secretary Zhang can complete these tasks relatively smoothly that she has been a secretary for more than ten years. Zhou Bowen would rather give her a salary increase than change her job.

But maybe it’s because Secretary Zhang has been doing this job for too long, so even though her current boss has been replaced by Chen Li.

But she still maintains her previous work habits!

Although it was past two o'clock last night when she was looking at the information on various properties under Chen Li's name, she still got up at six o'clock in the morning.

After cleaning up, I went directly to Chen Li's community, and then waited until nine o'clock.

Fortunately, Secretary Zhang has followed Zhou Bowen for many years and is now considered a car owner, so these two hours were not so uncomfortable.

But Chen Li is not Zhou Bowen after all, and his work requirements for his assistants are completely different from Zhou Bowen.

So Chen Li wanted to remind the other party that there was no need to make himself so tired.

But what Chen Li didn't expect was that he obviously meant well~ but in the end, the secretary didn't seem to appreciate it very much.

"boss!"

"With all due respect~ If this is all your job needs."

"Then I think you shouldn't hire me!"

"Because for the jobs you've given us, even if we just recruit a fresh graduate, he should be able to do it after simple training."

"And my salary~has far exceeded your requirements for the position of assistant."

"so."

Secretary Zhang was holding chicken soup. After thinking for a moment, he explained his opinion to Chen Li with a serious face.

And Chen Li was called Secretary Zhang~ No, he should be called Assistant Zhang now. Chen Li was choked by Assistant Zhang's words.

But after a moment, Chen Li reacted. He looked at his new assistant and smiled.

Indeed, just as Assistant Zhang said, strictly speaking, it doesn't matter whether Chen Li wants this assistant or not.

Ren Xiaobo had been his assistant before, but Chen Li soon sent Ren Xiaobo out.

It’s not that Ren Xiaobo didn’t use it smoothly, it’s that it was a waste!

In terms of Ren Xiaobo's abilities, it was a bit of a waste to serve as an assistant to Chen Li, who didn't have much to deal with at the time.

In fact, at first Chen Li wanted to send Ren Xiaobo to Su Mei to help, but he didn't expect that Su Mei, a halfway monk, did quite well. Then Chen Li happened to take action to develop a livestock base in Western Xinjiang, so

Simply leave that whole matter to Ren Xiaobo.

As for now, Chen Li does have a lot of work on his hands, but compared with before, Chen Li is no longer the college student he used to be.

Unlike before, where he had to deal with business matters whenever he had free time, Chen Li now has a lot to do to complete his work.

With an assistant, Chen Li will naturally feel much more relaxed, but if there is no assistant, Chen Li will not be able to handle it.

The reason why Chen Li agreed to Zhou Bowen's request and hired Secretary Zhang was not only because Chen Li was satisfied with his own work ability, but also because Chen Li was making plans for the future.

Since his family knows his own business, Chen Li believes that it will not be long before both his current industry and the industry to be developed in the future will develop rapidly.

Recruiting Secretary Zhang to your name at this time is undoubtedly a very wise choice, whether you send her out to take charge of her own affairs in the future, or stay by your side to help your future self handle affairs.

So~ Assistant Zhang’s “question” seems reasonable, but in fact Chen Li has his own considerations.

Of course ~ in fact, this does not rule out that these remarks were made intentionally by Assistant Zhang "directed and acted by himself".

It seems that the other party is making suggestions to his boss as a qualified assistant, but in fact, he may be using retreat to gain more trust from his boss.

After all, Assistant Zhang was so ruthless that she even used her own work to dissuade her, but as long as Chen Li was not a fool, he would never really follow her advice and fire her.

On the contrary, this move was about taking a step back to make progress. For some bosses who consider themselves smart, it might actually make her have more trust in her assistant.

However, this is just a guess. It is also possible that this assistant is simply admonishing, or even just mentioned it casually.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, this is not the first time that Chen Li and Assistant Zhang have dealt with each other. In order to poach each other, Chen Li showed his "approachability" and so on.

Of course, there is another possibility. The assistant himself did not want to see Chen Li, and wanted to use this opportunity to ridicule him and then leave his job directly.

But this possibility is very small. After all, if she is really dissatisfied with Chen Lihe's job, she can just refuse to agree.

These possibilities all have a certain probability, but if it comes to it, Chen Li feels that the former is the most likely.

After all, Assistant Zhang was a mature secretary before. It would not be like the other party's behavior if he really spoke out of his mind or just made fun of him and wanted to leave.

So Chen Li just smiled, then picked up the spoon and scooped another bowl of native chicken soup for the other party.

"Don't worry~!"

"It doesn't matter that you don't have much to do now, but you will be busy later."

It is now the end of December 1999, and time is about to enter the 21st century.

At this time, Chen Li also made a detailed plan for the future development of his career, and the new year is also the beginning of Chen Li's grand plans.

Not to mention anything else, once the various industries under Chen Li's name develop to a certain scale, it is estimated that Assistant Zhang will be very busy, not to mention that Chen Li will start to expand into multiple industries in the future.

.for example.

"By the way~Sister Zhang, do you understand finance?"

"Or to be more precise, do you understand the operation of the capital market?"

Chen Li scooped himself a bowl of soup, and then asked his first real question after hiring Secretary Zhang.

Sister Zhang was obviously stunned by this question from her new boss. It wasn't that she couldn't answer the question, but that the question was a bit unexpected.

There is no other reason~ Although Chen Li is her boss, Chen Li’s industry seems to have nothing to do with terms such as finance and capital markets!

Although Chen Li is a young rich man, what are Chen Li's industries actually?

Chain fried chicken restaurants, farms, animal husbandry companies, and she even heard that Chen Li had opened a brewery. It is said that they have not yet opened the market, which is a miserable loss!

Even though Chen Li has an Internet company under his name, this thing has nothing to do with finance and capital markets, right?

Of course, if I have to be a little far-fetched, it is probably that this Internet company called Red Pony Technology has received capital financing.

Hmm? Financing? Finance?

Assistant Zhang felt that he seemed to have caught the core of his boss's question, so he put down the chicken soup in his hand, thought for a moment and replied:

"Does the boss want to raise funds?"

"I'm not particularly familiar with this area, but a real estate company once wanted to go public, so I have some understanding of some of the procedures involved."

"If the boss just wants to know"

Assistant Zhang's words were more modest. In fact, she really knew a lot about financing.

Because before this, Zhou Bowen's real estate company had tried to find someone to raise funds, intending to use this to solve the real estate company's funding problem.

Although Zhou Bowen's financing plan failed, even so, as Zhou Bowen's confidant, she, who was Secretary Zhang at the time, was directly involved in some of the processes.

So, Assistant Zhang felt that his boss’s question seemed to be on point.

But just when she was about to talk about this issue, she was interrupted by Chen Li.

"No, it's not financing."

“What kind of financing should I raise?”

"The company is not without money, and it is not encountering any difficulties now. How stupid would I be to raise funds at this time."

"I'm asking about finance and capital markets. Let's be honest!"

"The stock market. Do you understand it?"

Chen Li continued to talk about his topic while drinking soup.

"stock market?"

"Boss, do you want to be fired?"

"I'm not trying to speculate in stocks. Hey~ I suddenly feel like there's something wrong with communicating with you."

Chen Li interrupted Assistant Zhang again, and this time he looked at Assistant Zhang with a serious expression.

"You seem to enjoy guessing my thoughts!"

"But... you just need to answer my questions."

"To understand is to understand. If you don't know, you are not to know."

"I don't need you to guess my thoughts, nor do I need you to help me make choices."

In fact, Chen Li could tell that Assistant Zhang's way of answering was probably a fault of his previous job as a secretary.

Assistant Zhang has been Zhou Bowen's secretary for more than ten years. The relationship between the two went from being a superior to a subordinate in the beginning, and in the end, they were probably almost working partners who worked well together.

Based on how well the two of them knew each other, it was estimated that Zhou Bowen would not even need to say anything in many cases, and Secretary Zhang would arrange things properly for Zhou Bowen.

But now her boss is Chen Li, and her working habits won't change for a while.

This problem is neither big nor small. Generally speaking, with Assistant Zhang's working ability, he can quickly adapt to his new job.

But no matter how fast it is, it still takes a certain amount of time, so there seems to be a problem in communication between the two at this moment.

"Okay~ I understand, boss!"

"I only know some simple theoretical knowledge about finance and capital markets and stories, but I have never worked in the financial industry, nor have I ever traded in stocks."

"But I do know a financial expert. If the boss needs it, I can help you contact him."

To be honest, Assistant Zhang suddenly "awakened" to those few words Chen Li just said.

In fact, this awakening was not just due to a change in work, but also a slight contempt for Chen Li in her heart!

how to say?

Even though Chen Li is now a young and promising young tycoon, he is even Zhang Ruolan's boss.

But really speaking, she, Zhang Ruolan, is not a little girl who has never seen the world.

In fact, during the years when she served as Zhou Bowen's secretary, Zhang Ruolan's knowledge and life experience had already surpassed that of most people.

After all, although Zhou Bowen is bankrupt now, he was once a well-known real estate tycoon in Yanjing City.

As Zhou Bowen's secretary, Zhang Ruolan's vision has naturally improved.

This is actually the reason why she refused so directly when Chen Li tried to poach her.

Even Ren Xiaobo was moved by Chen Li's perseverance, but she never had the idea to go to Chen Li.

Although there are many years of friendship and superior-subordinate relationship between her and Zhou Bowen, there is also the reason why she looks down on Chen Li's little property.

Even though she is now working under Chen Li, in fact, what should she say about Chen Li, a seemingly young and promising young rich man?

There is still some appreciation. After all, at Chen Li's age, he has achieved his current achievements. It is normal to admire him.

However, although there is some appreciation, it is definitely not much!

After all, when Zhang Ruolan served as Zhou Bowen's secretary, she often saw young talents like Chen Li.

Moreover, Yanjing is the most indispensable place for people like this.

She, Zhang Ruolan, has not seen young people who are younger than Chen Li and have achieved better results than Chen Li.

So even though she has become Chen Li's assistant now, that's all she thinks of Chen Li in her heart!

But Chen Li’s few words just now gave Zhang Ruolan a little reminder.

It's not that she was enlightened by Chen Li, but that she suddenly realized her current identity clearly.

She~Zhang Ruolan is no longer Zhou Bowen’s secretary.

And Shi Chenli’s work assistant!
