Shao Bowen is definitely a serious and responsible person. There is definitely a reason why he became a middle-level manager in the Investment Department of HSBC in just two years.
He knows his shortcomings. In the Mainland, he is like a novice with no experience, so he prepared many notebooks for this inspection trip. He will 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 gave hope to those business owners who originally thought that this so-called investment company was just a cover, and that they had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living doctor.
This investment of money was definitely serious. If this thing 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 these people who came to inspect how to apply for investment funds and how to manage this 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, I was embarrassed to say nothing when they asked for advice so sincerely. I could only pass on some of the knowledge I learned in books. What I learned in books is rigid, but for
For these business owners, it is a great inspiration 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 the self-made bosses. This is a two-way process. They have learned a lot of worldly wisdom from these self-made bosses, and the entrepreneurial bosses have learned a lot of professional knowledge from them.
Knowledge.
Shao Bowen's investigation trip lasted for two months. When he came back, he brought back five thick notebooks.
Jiang Hua felt frightened 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, some
Enterprise, I think it 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 have you taken a fancy to?"
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, but they are currently facing financial difficulties.
To seek partial funding, I talked to the government departments, and they said we can own a certain percentage of shares, but it cannot exceed 49%."
Jiang Hua looked at the records of this automobile factory. No, it couldn't even be called a automobile factory, but an agricultural automobile factory that produced 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 become a shareholder?"
Shao Bo said confidently: "I talked with their person in charge for three days, and you talked with their superiors for three days. 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
We are 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 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 am worried that it will not be able 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 us, which can prevent them from making many detours."
Shao Bowen nodded and thought for a while, 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 support, we
The investment is really too much.”
Jiang Hua said firmly: "No need to think about it. Just let me decide."
Shao Bowen said helplessly: "Well, maybe this is the difference between you and me. You are the boss, and I am just a buddy. Your vision is always longer-term than mine."
"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 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 recover 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 sale, and I still hope it will get off to a good start."
