Chapter 5 We must be right in life and work

(Bow and thank you for the monthly pass support of "Funeral Things", "Fengshen Yu Shao" and "Personality Brother"!)

Zhou Ming took Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning back to the study of his room, because Zhou Ming needed to spend more time outside, his study was much more empty than other students, so Zhou Ming's study was often used as a small conference room. And this time, Zhou Ming needs to have a small meeting here with the three team leaders of the financial class and the main person in charge of Wharton.

Entering the study, Zhou Ming first asked Ye Ning to briefly tell Chen Shu and Li Yang about the situation on Omar's side, and Chen Shu and Li Yang both frowned after hearing this.

"How can this be? We paid for his campaign, not only can we complete all the campaign work for him, but we even promise to pay him a salary, which is already a very generous treatment, otherwise the other candidates must pay their own money, and run their own campaign foundation to complete all the campaign work, what is he not satisfied with?" Li Yang was the first to express his opinion.

Chen Shu shook his head and said: "I don't think things will necessarily be so simple, Li Yang, you forgot what Ye Ning said, Omar said that he hates the government and all administrative organs very much, which shows that he himself is disgusted with politics, not dissatisfied with our conditions." ”

"My teacher and I had the same idea. "But if Omar really hates politics, then it will be very difficult for us to convince him to run." ”

Chen Shu nodded and said: "I very much agree, this is very headache, because if it is a matter of conditions, we can still sit down and talk, but he himself is averse to politics, and it will be very difficult for us to convince him to run for election, unless we have a way to change his thinking, but how is this possible?"

Saying that, the three of them all subconsciously looked at Zhou Ming, but when they saw Zhou Ming's eyes, they suddenly remembered that they had just promised to find their own way and no longer rely on Zhou Ming, so they immediately turned their heads again.

"It's not impossible. Li Yang followed Chen Shu's topic just now and said, "Because just like a sentence in a romance novel, there is no love for no reason and no hate for no reason, psychologically speaking, every way of acting has its own cause, we just need to know why Omar is disgusted with politics to prescribe the right medicine." ”

"That's true, but it's probably hard to find the root cause, after all, none of us know him, let alone know anything, and it's not impossible to find out the reason from his past life, but it takes a lot of time, but we don't have that much time now. Ye Ning said.

Ye Ning's words made the atmosphere fall silent, and after a while, Li Yang said: "Otherwise, we can skip the process of investigation and directly prescribe the right medicine." ”

Chen Shu and Ye Ning raised their eyebrows when they listened to Li Yang's words, and Chen Shu asked tentatively: "Li Yang, don't you mean that we want to say that we will find a way to make him suffer somewhere, let him understand the importance of power, and he will come to us, right?"

Li Yang nodded and said: "Now there is only this way, you have to take strong medicine for emergencies, otherwise we will go to investigate his past, the time for the election campaign has long passed, the US Congress will not extend the campaign time for us, and the president will not have this treatment for re-election." And if we just be careful, I don't think he will find out. ”

"That's a way to do it. Ye Ning echoed, "And the power incident against him is not difficult to handle, he is a black man, black people are treated discriminated against here, and many abuses in the police station or other places will not be differentiated because he is a student of Harvard Law School, so we may only need to call the police, or help him create some conflict, so that he can understand the importance of power." ”

"And there is another point," Li Yang added, "Ye Ning said just now that he is a single-parent family, so a single-parent family is still black, both of these points are very fatal, I think he must have been subjected to a lot of discrimination when he was growing up, maybe he will not be able to bear it with a little thing." ”

Chen Shu listened to Li Yang and Ye Ning's words and muttered for a while before saying: "If you can only do this, then I think it is better to be as ruthless as possible, because ordinary small losses will not make him much determined, and only when he really suffers a big loss that he will never forget, he will be determined to change." ”

Facing Chen Shu's final statement, Li Yang smiled: "I used to think that the class leader was very kind, but I didn't expect the class leader to be even more ruthless than us!

Just when Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning unified their opinions, Zhou Ming suddenly said: "I oppose your ideas. ”

Zhou Ming's words were amazing, which made Ye Ning and the three of them stunned at that time, they looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, and they didn't understand why Zhou Ming suddenly said this.

"By attacking Omar to make him understand the importance of power, and instead let him participate in the election campaign spontaneously, there is nothing wrong with this method itself, and I also think that if you do it well, you will have a high chance of success, but have you ever thought about the question, that is, what if he finds out about it afterwards? Do you continue to make up for it with lies and hope that you can hide it, or wait for a break and create a campaign scandal?"

Zhou Ming continued: "Don't think this is impossible, just like the old saying, if people don't know what to do, since we have done it, no matter how good we do it and how well we plan, we still have to face this problem." ”

For Zhou Ming's sudden question, Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning couldn't give an answer, but Zhou Ming didn't need them to answer, because Zhou Ming immediately continued: "The best way is not to do this, no matter in business or politics, you must be a person and do things right, only voluntary cooperation is reliable, if it is involuntary, then no matter whether your original intention is for his good or something else, there will be no good results in the end." ”

"But that Omar is very apolitical, and if we don't use a little means, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him to run for us. Ye Ning tried to explain.

However, Zhou Ming still disagreed: "But this is not the reason for us to use this means, maybe we can better achieve the goal by using some means, but it is not the right way after all." Omar is averse to politics, but maybe we just have a hard time convincing him, it doesn't mean that we really don't have a chance at all, on the contrary, if we use means to be known by him, then the situation will have no room to turn around. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing: "Another important point, why do you always think about convincing Omar? I just said that Omar is the most suitable person for me to find as a candidate, I have never said that he must be nominated as a candidate, if he does not agree, we can run as a candidate ourselves, will we definitely be worse than that black man?"

"Of course not," Li Yang subconsciously answered, "Teacher, let's try to invite him again, if he really doesn't want to, don't force him, I can participate in the election as a candidate, I am very confident!"

"And it's always more comfortable to use money on your own people than on outsiders. Ye Ning also said.

Zhou Ming smiled: "That's right, as a student of my finance class, I should have such a spirit!"

praised Li Yang, and then Zhou Ming changed the topic: "Now our most important task is to campaign, because the time is just right, but at the same time, we can't forget the business of Wharton Insurance Company, although the company already has hundreds of millions of dollars of funds on its books, but more than half of them are the insurance amount of each policyholder, which needs to be returned to the policyholder after the expiration of the contract, in addition to a lot of claim work, has also begun." ”

"It is for these reasons that the most important job of our Wharton company must be to invest, and continuous investment to create profits can ensure the continuous development of the company, otherwise we will become a financial fraud like a Ponzi scheme. ”

Zhou Ming said, glanced around at Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning, and then said, "So how is the company's profit growth now?"

Although Zhou Ming looked at the three people and asked, in fact, it was Ye Ning who Zhou Ming wanted to ask, because he was in charge of the statistics with several other girls in this regard.

Ye Ning did not disappoint Zhou Ming either, and immediately replied: "Teacher, as of the end of last night's statistics, from last week to this week, the company's investment has increased by 1.5 percent, that is, two million US dollars, and after deducting the company's normal operating funds, commissions and other expenses, the company's total net income is one million US dollars. ”

"Is it less than one percent of the income of one million US dollars? This income may be a lot in other companies, but for a financial investment company, it is still too low, is there a loss in the investment in the middle?" Zhou Ming asked.

Faced with Zhou Ming's question, Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning glanced at each other, and finally Chen Shu reported to Zhou Ming: "Teacher, our investment model has suffered losses. ”

Zhou Ming was surprised, but he didn't rush to say anything, but gave a gesture to continue.

"Teacher, we have a venture capital model based on company stocks and bonds, and we used to select hundreds of stocks that have performed very well in the stock market, and they have a very good background, but just last week, the middle 100 stocks in different industries fell at the same time, and the highest decline has been more than five percentage points, with a loss of more than six million dollars. Chen Shu said.

Zhou Ming frowned: "The investment model has lost so much, hasn't there been any abnormal situation in the market before?"

Chen Shu shook his head and said: "No, these stocks have performed very strongly in the market before, and the historical situation is also very good, we will only choose, and we don't understand why this is the case this time." However, at present, Li Yang and I have started to track and repair the model in this situation, we have temporarily eliminated the stocks that have performed poorly, and at the same time added a lot of high-quality stocks that have performed well during this time, and have minimized the loss as much as possible. ”

After speaking, Chen Shu thought for a while and added: "Teacher, Li Yang and I were originally going to wait for the situation to stabilize this time before making a general report to you. ”

Zhou Ming nodded and said: "That's fine, maybe this time it's just an accident, I said that you can handle some small problems yourself, you don't need to report to me." But one thing I need to remind you of, I don't have a problem with tinkering with the investment model, I just hope you can be a little more cautious, if it's just a few of these underperforming stocks, that's fine, but if there are too many, it means that we have a problem with the original design idea, and the best way to do that is to redesign one, you know?"

Chen Shu nodded and said firmly: "Teacher, please rest assured, we will be cautious!"
