Shao Bowen is definitely a serious and responsible person. There is definitely a reason why he became a middle-level manager of HSBC Investment Department in just two years.
He knew his shortcomings. He was a novice with no experience in the mainland, so he prepared many notebooks for this inspection trip. He would record his conversations with the leadership and his conversations with the workers. After coming down, he would even have in-depth conversations with the doorman and cleaning staff, and take detailed notes.
His seriousness and responsibility have given hope to those business owners who originally thought that this so-called investment company was just a cover, and those business owners who had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living doctor saw hope.
This investment of money was definitely serious. If it was fake, this person didn't need to be so pretentious, so he became serious about Shao Bowen's inspection trip.
The companies applying for financial assistance are not only those with production difficulties, but some may have just started. Although they have a large market, if they want to become bigger and stronger, they may not be able to do anything for the time being, so they need financial support.
They began to actively ask the people who came to inspect how to apply for investment funds and how to manage the enterprise.
Although the people in the investment department are not majoring in management, at least they are all top students who have studied finance-related majors and have more or less dabbled in business management and financial market analysis.
Facing the honest smiles of those business owners. People asked for advice so sincerely, but I was embarrassed to say nothing.
I can only pass on some of the knowledge I have learned in books. What I learned in books is rigid, but it is very inspiring to these business owners and helps them avoid detours in the process of business management. .
Therefore, Jiang Hua and others who invest in the company are very popular with those self-made bosses. This is a two-way process. They have learned a lot of worldliness from these self-made bosses, and those entrepreneurial bosses have learned a lot of professional knowledge from them. Knowledge.
Shao Bowen's inspection trip lasted for two months. When he came back, he brought back five thick notebooks.
Jiang Hua felt terrified when he saw the densely packed words on it. He was also good at taking notes back then, but he never wrote so many words.
Shao Bowen smiled and said: "Boss, I feel like I have written all the Chinese characters in my life."
"You are a ruthless person, but I think you will gain a lot this time, right?" Jiang Hua said with a smile: "As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. With your attitude, God will not allow you to succeed. ." Shao Bowen said with emotion: "The harvest must be great. Nowadays, those who dare to start a business in the mainland are the best among people, the best among people. I have learned a lot from them. Some people, There are some companies that I think will definitely be successful in the future.”
"Only when you understand the actual situation in the mainland can you see the potential of the mainland." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "Now tell me, which companies are you interested in?" Shao Bowen flipped through his notebook and handed it to Jiang Hua: "The first one is this automobile factory that was just established. In western Guangdong, this factory is not private yet, it is publicly owned. However, they are currently facing financial difficulties and are looking for some funding. I have discussed it with the government departments. After passing, they said we can own a certain proportion of shares, but it cannot exceed 49%." Jiang Hua looked at the records of this automobile factory and saw, no, it shouldn't even be called a car factory, but an agricultural automobile factory. Produce some tractors, three-wheelers and the like.
But looking at Shao Bowen's records, Jiang Hua became more and more enthused. Why did this company look more and more like the national car company of later generations? It claimed that we would produce whatever the people needed.
Jiang Hua asked with some stuttering: "Are you sure this company allows us to take shares?" Shao Bo said confidently: "I talked with their person in charge for three days, you talked with their superiors for three days, they They all promised that I can become a shareholder, but we cannot participate in daily affairs.”
"This is not a problem. If you can really invest in this company, then you can invest in it without hesitation." Jiang Hua said eagerly: "Tell their person in charge that for a company like theirs, our investment company Willing to provide all-round support.”
"Comprehensive support?" Shao Bowen said doubtfully: "Boss, your support is too strong. Can you give me a basic range?"
"If they need to introduce technology, we will help them find the technology and be responsible for the negotiations. If they need to update the equipment, we will help them find it and be responsible for the negotiations." Jiang Hua said categorically: "If they want to be listed in Xiangjiang, We can also help them list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.”
"This company has just started, is it worth such a large support? I'm worried that it will be unable to invest in society because of too much investment, and it may end up losing money."
"Be patient." Jiang Hua shook his head: "Actually, I know this company very well. He has not just started. He has had this company since 1956. After many twists and turns, he finally has what he is now. scale, and the original spirit has been passed down to this day. I think such enterprises will only become more and more prosperous. Of course, there may be twists and turns. But they have an investment company like ours, which can prevent them from making many detours." Shao Bowen nodded and thought about it, and finally said hesitantly: "Boss, would you like to think about it again? I'm not saying that this company has no potential. On the contrary, I am also very optimistic about this company, but with such a large amount of support, our The investment is too much." Jiang Hua said firmly: "Don't think about it. Just let me decide." Shao Bowen said helplessly: "Okay, maybe this is the difference between you and me. You You’re the boss, and I’m just a buddy, and you always have a longer view than I do.”
"You don't have to flatter me like this." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "What I think about is a little different from what you think about. What you think about is how to help me recover costs and make money. What I think about is also me. My original intention of establishing this investment company is to help some domestic companies with potential to grow and develop. Sometimes, it is not a matter of money. However, this investment is my final decision. Even if I lose money, I will not be able to collect it. I won’t blame you if you return the investment.” Shao Bowen shrugged: “I don’t quite agree with you doing this. After all, this is our company’s first transaction, and I still hope to get off to a good start.”
