On June 20, 2015, the Yanjing International Financial Conference Center was very lively, in addition to the national TV stations, major newspapers and network channel reporters, even the embassies, also sent representatives to participate, and even some countries are ambassadors come in person, the reason is very simple, today's Yanjing Financial Forum opened here. ∈↗，

"Today is the first day of the opening of the Yenching Financial Forum, and we can feel the warm atmosphere of the forum from such a large flow of people at the door. We all know that the Yenching Financial Forum is a very influential financial summit in the country and even in the world, especially in today's growing economic strength of China, the current global economic downturn, a few days ago the global stock market has also crashed; it can be said that now China's economy is thriving in the world, and the whole world is counting on Chinese financial enterprises to come forward to rescue the market, under this premise, the opening of this financial forum has undoubtedly touched the nerves of the world. ”

"The opening of this financial forum is also at the threshold of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and as far as I know, there will be a lot of leading figures in China's financial industry, including Chen Shu, CEO of Yanjing Development and Investment Company, Li Yang, deputy general manager of Anguo Securities Company, Ye Ning, general manager of First Private Equity Fund Company, and Huang Ping, vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. ”

"If China is now the world's economic pacemaker, then these financial representatives are the pacemaker of China's economy, as long as these people can reach a consensus on the willingness to save the market, then tomorrow the US stock market will rise wildly, so this Yenching Financial Forum is the focus of the world's attention, these financial representatives who participated in the forum meeting, these have a lot of wealth, they are the focus of the focus!"

......

The reporters at the door kept expressing their excitement to the camera, and in addition to the reporters, there were also representatives and ambassadors of various colors, who were also anxiously waiting for the opening of the financial forum on the other side.

The importance of this financial forum is evident from the appearance of these reporters and other representatives of various countries, and at the same time, a CCTV interview is taking place in the lounge of the back station.

"Hello Mr. Chen Shu, we all know that your Yanjing Development and Investment Company is one of the most powerful financial companies in the country, and together with several other companies, it forms the strongest line of defense in China's finance, and can always ensure the smooth transition of the domestic stock market, regardless of the foreign stock market. I would like to ask you how you did it, I heard that you founded Yenching Development Investment Company after returning from Harvard, and I would like to ask you how your entrepreneurial journey was. ”

In the face of the reporter's interview, Chen Shu smiled, his smile made the reporter feel very surprised, she didn't understand how her question could make Chen Shu laugh, she asked obviously no problem!

At this time, Li Yang next to her gave her an answer: "Actually, Comrade reporter, the question you just asked is wrong, because our business was not started after returning to China, but started in the United States." ”

The reporter was greatly surprised by what Li Yang revealed, and she immediately asked: "In the United States? When you were still studying at Harvard? It seems that you really have the demeanor of a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation, and even if you are abroad, you will never forget your original intention." ”

He praised Li Yang, and then the reporter asked: "Then I don't know what Mr. Li Yang did for your first venture, and was it the fund company that you jointly established in the United States?"

Chen Shu shook his head lightly and said: "No, by the time we set up a fund company, we already have a lot of wealth in our hands, if it wasn't for the first time to start a business, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to have the opportunity to have how much money to start a later fund company." ”

"So what will be your first entrepreneurial project? As far as I know, you were all elites who studied in the Harvard finance class back then, and you even influenced the political situation in the United States at that time, so you must have founded a securities company, a fund company, or a bank, right? In short, you must have been a big conglomerate!" the reporter asked very excitedly, as if he was about to solve an unsolved mystery.

"I didn't expect you to know the name of the finance class. Chen Shu thanked a little surprised, "That is already a very distant thing, but the people who were able to be selected into the finance class back then were indeed the best in China, and I was selected into the finance class back then, which is also the biggest turning point in my life." ”

Chen Shu's words were no longer followed here, although the reporter held the recording stick and waited for the next words.

Chen Shu then took the topic back to the topic: "In fact, our first venture back then, it was not as lofty as you thought, we were a group of poor students, although there were $10,000 in entrepreneurial support, but we were not familiar with the American people, and we didn't understand the financial rules here, so it was impossible to run any securities company and fund company, let alone a bank." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shu smiled and continued: "You may not believe it, our first venture that year was just to do some completely work-study work in school. ”

Hearing this answer, the reporter was stunned at that time, she looked at Chen Shu with wide eyes, hoping to get more detailed information, but Chen Shu just sat there with a smile, and didn't seem to mean to continue.

......

Back in 1990, in the box of the small Chinese restaurant east of Harvard University, Zhou Ming and his classmates in the finance class were still continuing the topic of entrepreneurship.

It's just that in the face of Zhou Ming's initial preparations, everyone is a little at a loss, Li Yang's words are very representative: "Teacher, I understand that 10,000 US dollars is actually a lot, but we have been studying finance, and we only understand things related to finance.

Li Yang's tone was very guilty, as if he had lived up to Zhou Ming's expectations, and the others were also very embarrassed to look at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to be embarrassed, I put it forward today to discuss it together, and there will always be a plan for implementation when everyone brainstorms." ”

"Teacher, I support you!" Ye Ning said first, "Teacher, I remember that in our school, there will be a lot of trolleys selling snacks at the door, and they don't cost much, but the business is very good, I think our first business should be able to do the same." ”

Before Zhou Ming could speak, the squad leader Chen Shu said first: "Ye Ning, your method is indeed very good, but there is another problem, we are here in the United States and not in China, especially here is Harvard, we do not have the right to move stalls, once we do it, not only will the car be confiscated, but we will also be fined at least two thousand US dollars, and even you will be expelled from school because of this, which is not feasible." ”

"Since mobile booths are not feasible, we should opt for fixed booths. Li Yang, the deputy class president, said, "My family is in business, and I think we can rent a store on the Harvard campus and sell clothes, shoes and socks, so that we can avoid those unnecessary troubles, and at the same time, the cost is not high, and we can also make a lot of money." ”

Chen Shu, the class leader, said: "Renting a store is indeed to avoid some unnecessary troubles, but as far as I know, the clothing business is generally done in a centralized manner, because it is necessary to choose a place where the flow of people is concentrated, so as to ensure the maximum number of customers, but on the Harvard campus, the dormitories are very scattered, and there are not many students in each dormitory building, it is difficult to guarantee how much sales we can have, without sales, our income is impossible." ”

"Indeed, do you have any good ideas for the squad leader?" asked Li Yang.

Chen Shu shook his head and said: "No, I just think we should make a project with a very low cost, but considerable benefits, but not to cause unnecessary trouble, and at the same time to ensure the flow of customers." ”

"How can there be such a project?" Ye Ning said, "It's easy to do and the income is high, if there really is such a good project, someone hasn't done it a long time ago, where will it be our turn? After all, this is Harvard, and it is the concentration of the smartest people in the world." ”

Chen Shu thought for a while and said: "Then we can do catering, my biggest feeling here is that Western food is very difficult to eat, we can move the Chinese restaurant to the campus, with the charm of our Chinese food, it will definitely sell very well." ”

"It's not me who poured cold water on you, squad leader, I don't think your suggestion is feasible. Li Yang said, "Not to mention that we haven't examined how much Americans can accept Chinese food, but the most important point is that the first thing in a restaurant is the food, and we don't even have a chef now, so how can we open a Chinese restaurant?"

Then the owner of the restaurant came in, and he looked around and said, "What are you talking about? So happy, then I'll give you a poached egg today." ”

Everyone was very grateful to the boss, and Chen Shu asked the boss, "Boss, how long have you been here to open a restaurant?"

The boss was a little surprised: "Are you going to open a store on the Harvard campus?" I advise you not to, because these Westerners do not accept our Chinese way of eating with chopsticks from the basic concept, perhaps because of their prejudice, or maybe because we are not particular, and they also feel that Chinese restaurants are very unclassy, and the sanitary conditions are also very uneasy. ”

"That's why boss, is your Chinese restaurant open here?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked.

The boss nodded helplessly: "That's right, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, originally I planned to open a restaurant on the Harvard campus, but the business really can't go on, and in the end I can only move here, there are more Chinese nearby, and the business can barely continue." ”

In the end, the boss waved his hand meaninglessly and said, "Don't talk about this, you ask this, are you planning to open a store on the Harvard campus?"

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "That's the case, I don't know if you have any good suggestions, boss?"

The boss hesitated for a moment and then said cautiously, "I have an idea, I don't know if I can say it." ”

"There's nothing you can't say, boss, just talk about it!" said the outspoken Li Yangxian, and the other finance class students also shouted.

Zhou Ming also said: "Boss, you know that we have just come to the United States, and we don't know anything when we first arrive, boss, since you have been here for so long, you must know a lot more than us in all aspects, your words will definitely give us great inspiration, you might as well talk about it if you help." ”

The boss then made up his mind: "Okay, since you all said so, I will make a fool of myself in front of you elite students, and talk about my very immature ideas." ”
