Xu Ziqiang's movements were very fast, or Sima Bowen was also very anxious, they made an appointment to meet on Thursday night, and the meeting place was chosen to be the newly opened Simbak coffee shop outside the University of Tokyo, which was of course very good in terms of environment.

The time of the appointment is half past seven, Zhuo Ziyuan did not drive, walked directly over, in the evening, a person out for a walk, blowing this autumn breeze, looking at the bright lights of the city, occasionally hearing the beautiful melody of some street singers, Zhuo Ziyuan felt very comfortable.

When Zhuo Ziyuan came to the café slowly, the time was just half past seven, Xu Ziqiang saw Zhuo Ziyuan as soon as he entered the door, and immediately came up to greet him, leading Zhuo Ziyuan to the innermost position, and Sima Bowen had already stood up.

"Boss, what do you drink?" Xu Ziqiang did not introduce each other first, but asked what to drink.

"Latte. Zhuo Ziyuan originally wanted to say casual, but when he thought of women, he liked to say casual, and then he was not satisfied with this, and he was not satisfied with that, so he thought about it or forgot it, don't be embarrassed for Xu Ziqiang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhuo Ziyuan and Sima Bowen also looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Zhuo Ziyuan felt that although the person in front of him looked meticulous in his clothes and hair today, the whole person gave him the feeling that he was a little decadent, which may also be the reason for his preconceived ideas, but the other party did look a little haggard, presumably caused by a long period of career failure.

Sima Bowen was like all people who saw Zhuo Ziyuan for the first time, he only felt that the person in front of him was too young and ordinary, and his first feeling was that he was a boy next door.

Xu Ziqiang came back soon, he just went to order three cups of coffee and asked the waiter to deliver it.

After Xu Ziqiang introduced the two sides, after shaking hands with each other, Zhuo Ziyuan chose the innermost seat, facing the door, and could also see the street scene outside through the glass wall of the store, signaling everyone to sit down.

"Mr. Sima, it just so happens that I only met you a few days ago, Saturday night, at the gate of the Heavenly Palace. Zhuo Ziyuan spoke first.

Sima Bowen obviously didn't have any impression of Zhuo Ziyuan, "I'm sorry, I'm laughing at you, I was pulling customers that day, I think Ziqiang also told you about my situation, I want to regain my strength, I will inevitably have to pull some customers, relying on my own savings, it is really difficult to make a difference." ”

"Of course, I understand very well, although I don't agree with repeated defeats, but if after defeat, you don't even have the courage to stand up again, it is obviously a manifestation of incompetence, you can still stick to your own path after experiencing a huge setback, and even put down your face and go to Tiangong to make business cards to attract investment, I admire it. Zhuo Ziyuan really admires this kind of unbeatable Xiaoqiang, such a person, as long as he is given a chance, he will create his own glory.

"I'm ashamed, I also have no way to do it, compared to the pressure of reality, face is actually not so important, I used to be in the limelight, I think face is more important than anything, but only after experiencing it, can I understand that if a man has nothing, then what's the use of dignity. Sima Bowen sighed.

Yes, if a man has nothing, what can he talk about dignity.

"Then I wonder if Mr. has gained something now?" asked Zhuo Ziyuan.

"I don't hide it, I didn't get anything, it seems that I take myself too seriously. Sima Bowen smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"I take the liberty of asking, how old is Mr. this year?" asked Zhuo Ziyuan.

"38 years old. Sima Bowen told the truth.

"Then there should be a baby, right?"

"Well, son, 7 years old. ”

Have you ever thought that it is likely that it is a family tie that makes you unable to devote all your energy to fund management, so that you are not aware of the risks, resulting in a large loss of investment. Zhuo Ziyuan continued to ask.

Sima Bowen glanced at Zhuo Ziyuan deeply at this time, he understood the meaning of what Zhuo Ziyuan said, and his family caused his mistake," Mr. Zhuo, I think that it is with a family that I can better manage the fund, and what I need to manage the fund is to grow steadily, not like a gambler, either lose it or double it, and with the fetters of the family, I am more cautious about the investment of the fund, because I know that once I lose, there is a family behind me, so I will not gamble, put all my hopes on a plate, I will think more, in order to avoid risks, I will make a more precise portfolio, and make more detailed calculations. ”

"I'm sorry to ask such a question, but please understand, I'm looking for someone who can help me manage a lot of money, I have to be cautious, of course, Mr. Sima's answer makes me very satisfied, regardless of the family's investment maniac, not what I want, as you said, with care, will carefully weigh the consequences of failure, and people without care, will always only see the results after victory, I hope my money can be entrusted to a person who will often think about the consequences of failure. Zhuo Ziyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhuo is really to the point, do our business, if you only see the results of victory, it is indeed easy to succeed, it will be very beautiful, but it is easier to fail, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe, it seems that Mr. Zhuo has a lot of experience in investment. Sima Bowen praised Zhuo Ziyuan, a large part of it was out of sincerity, Zhuo Ziyuan's summary did make him feel deeply, although he used to often think about what would happen if he failed, but he didn't realize the difference between the two kinds of people that Zhuo Ziyuan said.

"You're welcome, I think Lao Xu should have told you what I want to do, right?"

"I mentioned it a little, but I didn't say much about it. ”

"Well, that's right, I won't invest in your fund, I'm going to set up my own fund, and I'm using my own funds, I need someone to manage this fund, I originally wanted him to manage it, but he introduced you to me. Zhuo Zi got straight to the point.

After Sima Bowen heard this, he first nodded to Xu Ziqiang, and then looked at Zhuo Ziyuan, " Actually, I prefer to be in charge of my own affairs, if a layman to manage the insider, it will only become more and more chaotic, however, Mr. Zhuo's high opinion, I agree, I believe we will have a common language, but I still have a condition, that is, Zhuo Ziyuan can not interfere with my investment at will, give me enough autonomy, you can not rush to reply, I brought some information, is the investment details of my original four years, and the reasons for failure, you can take a look first. ”

Sima Bowen, as he spoke, took out the leather bag he was carrying, took out a neat stack of A4 paper from it, and handed it to Zhuo Ziyuan.

Zhuo Ziyuan was also interested, he really wanted to see how capable this Sima Bowen was, took the document, and Zhuo Ziyuan looked at it carefully.

Sima Bowen is very detailed, and there are two pages of summary every year, and then each summary is marked with a specific breakdown of how many pages, at least to do data statistics, Sima Bowen is much stronger than a lot of people in Du Nan's company.

Zhuo Ziyuan watched while drinking coffee, and Xu Ziqiang and Sima Bowen were also waiting patiently on the side.

Zhuo Ziyuan saw it quickly, he didn't need to read all the information, he only looked at the annual summary, and he could know the authenticity of this document after checking the correspondence of several data, and Zhuo Ziyuan was also very sensitive to data.

To say that Sima Bowen is indeed a strong guy, his main investment direction is Internet stocks and futures investment, it can be seen that the two businesses are profitable in the first three years, and the comprehensive annual profit exceeds 35%, and he wants to get a lot of commissions, and in three years, his fund has continued to attract foreign capital from a total capital of 20 million, and once expanded to the level of 2 billion RMB, and the scale of funds has expanded by 100 times.

It's a pity that the fourth year of investment, so that his efforts fell short, he invested in the Internet company, the stock price directly fell to the limit, to bankruptcy liquidation, even if there is a futures market profit supplement, but the loss far exceeds the profit, and at that time the Internet world is a mourning, the owners can not see hope, have withdrawn, as the manager of the fund, Sima Bowen has an inescapable responsibility, he not only his own funds in the stock market, is some of the money of the owner, he also has to make up, otherwise, how can he have a good life, years of hard work, once lost。

Up to now, he has not made a big show in the stock market for more than two years, at most he has used his little savings to toss in the futures market.

Zhuo Ziyuan is quite satisfied with his operation in the first three years, the Internet crisis is not something he can predict, except for a few people standing at the source, it is difficult for others to see the Internet bubble clearly, it can be said that the crisis, for Sima Bowen, is a flying disaster, otherwise, he is still the well-dressed elite.

Zhuo Ziyuan read the information and gave it back to Sima Bowen, and then he slowly picked up the coffee and took a sip, he was thinking about how to persuade the other party to give up the conditions he insisted on.

Xu Ziqiang and Sima Bowen, as if reflexively, followed Zhuo Ziyuan to take a sip of coffee, waiting for Zhuo Ziyuan's decision.

"Mr. Sima, I have no doubts about your investment vision, and I am very confident that you are a very good money manager. ”

Sima Bowen had a smile on his face, he felt that he finally had the opportunity to prove his ability to the world again, but Zhuo Ziyuan's next words made him extremely disappointed.

The reason why Zhuo Ziyuan paused, it was not because he wanted to hang anyone's appetite, he paused, because he felt that someone was watching him, and he looked over according to his feelings, and a person who surprised Zhuo Ziyuan very much appeared in his eyes, Jian Qiu, this girl who has not met for a long time, she is chatting with someone and drinking coffee, looking at the back, it is a man.

Zhuo Ziyuan nodded to Jian Qiu, which was regarded as a greeting, Jian Qiu also nodded, then looked at the man opposite and continued to chat.

Zhuo Ziyuan was very emotional, he and Jian Qiu always seemed to meet by chance, since the first time they met, they began to meet constantly, the last time they met, it seemed that it should have been before Sas, they met again, it didn't happen at school, but they met in a coffee shop, it was really a coincidence, if it weren't for Xu Ziqiang's appointment with this Simbak, Zhuo Ziyuan would never have entered here.
